Mr. T. WILSONasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that more than fifty men of the Royal Engineers, postal section, have been serving with the forces in Salonika for more than three years without home leave; and whether early arrangements will be made for these men to visit their families in this country or to be demobilised?
Captain GUESTMen of the corps referred to cannot be treated preferentially to soldiers in other branches of the Service, who have also served a long time in Salonika and other distant theatres without home leave; those eligible for demobilisation under existing Regulations will be demobilised as the exigencies of the Service and transportation facilities permit.
