§ 73. Major CARVERasked the Secretary of State for War whether the British military cemeteries in France and Belgium can now be regarded as finally completed; whether any further transfer or construction is contemplated; and whether any additional memorials are to be erected?
§ Mr. SHAWThe work of construction of British cemeteries in France and Belgium, with the exception of a few tool-houses and shelters, has been completed. Six cemeteries are still open for re-burial of bodies found on the battlefields, but no transfers of cemeteries are contemplated. All the memorials to the missing in Belgium have been completed. In France the commission's last two memorials, those at Thiepval and Arras, are still in course of construction and will be completed early next year.
