HC Deb 13 November 1919 vol 121 c518W
SIR T. BRAMSDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many Class B Reserve men were engaged in the operations at Zeebrugge; what percentage of casualties did these men suffer; were these men volunteers or were they warned for this special duty; and have any special awards or mentions been made with reference to Class B Fleet Reserve ratings engaged in the Zeebrugge operations?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The ratings engaged in the Zeebrugge operation were collected from many different sources, and it would be a very difficult matter to trace the number of R.F.R. Class B.

The casualties among the R.F.R. Class B were:

Killed 2
Died of wounds 1
Wounded 2

No award was made to any of the R.F.R. Class B engaged in this operation.
