§ LIEUT. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for War how many immediate awards of British decorations have been given to the British troops of the Syren (Murmansk) and Elope (Archangel) forces respectively; what were the total number of casualties in these forces; how many persons have been court-martialled; and how many condemned to imprisonment and penal servitude?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe number of immediate awards are—Murmansk 214, and Archangel 615; of these 147 and 330 awards respectively have not yet been published in the "London Gazette," but this will be done as soon as the names, etc., have been verified. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer to my reply on the 11th instant to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Fairfield. To obtain the information asked for in the last part would involve much research, and I regret that under present conditions it cannot be undertaken.
