§ 18. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now consider the formation of a foreign legion, to embrace soldiers of those nations which are not organising their own armies to help the Allied Forces, but whose individual subjects wish to help?
§ Captain MargessonNationals of neutral States are already eligible for enlistment into any corps of the British Army, subject to their suitability. Germans, Austrians and Italians who are considered suitable may be accepted for enlistment into the Pioneer Corps. In these circumstances, I do not think it necessary to form any separate foreign legion as part of the British Army.
§ Miss Eleanor RathboneIs the light hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that many ex-enemy aliens have the fighting spirit and recognise this war as their war just as much as ours, and is it not a waste of these men to put them into the Pioneer Corps?
§ Captain MargessonThey do very good work there.
