HC Deb 01 August 1944 vol 402 c1151
33. Sir Henry Morris-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any statement to make about Welsh troops serving out of this country.

Sir J. Grigg

Whenever the Commander-in-Chief responsible releases the name of a Welsh regiment which has taken part in a campaign in any theatre of war, all the information available is given to the Press. In this way publicity has been given to the Welsh Guards, the Royal Welch Fusiliers, the South Wales Borderers and the Welch Regiment for gallant actions in which one or other of them has taken part in Norway, France and Flanders, Crete, Madagascar, Burma, Libya, North Africa, Sicily and Italy. I am most anxious that the achievements of all units should receive the public appreciation due to them, and I can assure my hon. Friend that the Commander-in-Chief will release these names as soon as it can be done without prejudicing the success of the operations or the safety of the troops engaged.
