§ 54. Commander Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether any photographs, official or otherwise, were known to have been taken of the state of Odessa after its capture by General Denikin's force; and, if so, whether the photographs could be seen, and where?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)Although it is quite possible that such photographs may have been taken, the War Office is not in possession of them and has no definite knowledge of their existence. I under- 1112 stand that the same is true as regards the Foreign Office. I have seen photographs of Bolshevik atrocities in other towns in South Russia, which are the private property of officers who have returned from the front. A good many of these have been given to the newspapers, and some have been published. If my hon. and gallant Friend would like to see the photographs I will put him in touch with the officer who has them. They are of a very painful nature.
