HC Deb 03 November 1919 vol 120 c1142W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can see his way to recommend that the prerogative of mercy be exercised in the case of fifty-four Jewish soldiers sentenced for mutiny in Palestine in 1918, especially in view of the fact that they were volunteers from America

Mr. FORSTER

The court-martial proceedings in these cases have only just been received and are at present being reviewed. I will write to the hon. and gallant Member on the matter as soon as possible.
