HC Deb 01 February 1944 vol 396 c1108
22. Mr. Liddall

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now make public when officers and men of the Lincolnshire Regiment participated in the fighting and suffered casualties from the commencement of hostilities, say for reasons of this regiment's safety, to 31st October, 1943.

Sir J. Grigg

These details were given in a statement issued to the local Press at the end of last May. Since then this regiment has taken part in the fighting on the Burma frontier.

Mr. Rhys Davies

How is it that the right hon. Gentleman can give a list of the casualties of a single regiment, when no casualty lists at all have been issued since September, 1942, for the whole country?

Sir J. Grigg

That seems to me a very different question. Perhaps the hon. Member will put it down.
