HC Deb 12 October 1915 vol 74 c1201W
Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, as a result of the efforts of the American Ambassador, he has received full lists of prisoners of the Manchester Territorial brigade in the hands of the Turkish Government?

Mr. TENNANT

Although some partial lists of prisoners of war in the hands of the Turks have been received, they do not in any case purport to give a complete statement of the men of any particular unit or formation who are prisoners, but my hon. Friend would, I fear, be wrong in assuming that all those who have been reported as missing will eventually be reported as prisoners of war.
