HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 c2531W
Mr. CAREW

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the discontent of the men of the 1/4th Devon Regiment who, having joined the Army at the outbreak of war, are still being retained at a refugee camp at Bagubah, Mesopotamia; and if he can say when these men will be released?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am afraid I can add nothing to the statement which I made on this subject on the 25th February last in answer to questions put by my right hon. Friend the Member for South Molton and my hon. Friend the Member for Brecknock. These men will, I hope, be brought home as soon as possible after the hot season, provided they are eligible for release under the existing Army Orders.
