HC Deb 05 July 1915 vol 73 c45W
Mr. HUGH LAW

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he can state approximately the number of men who have died in hospital as the result of abdominal wounds received in the western area of War; and what proportion such cases bear to the total number of men suffering from such wounds?

Mr. TENNANT

I am afraid this information could not be given without asking the medical authorities in France for a return, and they are already heavily burdened.

Mr. HUGH LAW

asked the Under-Secretary for War if he can give approximately the number of cases in which it has been necessary to amputate one or more limbs of men admitted to hospitals here or in France?

Mr. TENNANT

I understand that the Chelsea Commissioners have up to date received reports of 782 cases.
