HC Deb 08 December 1920 vol 135 cc2132-3W
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

asked the Secretary of State for War what number of officers and men of the Imperial forces originally reported missing have since the Armistice been traced, as the result of exhumation and other searches, by the Imperial War Graves Commission?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

In a very large number of cases of officers and men originally reported missing, evidence of death has been obtained as a result of the work of the Directorate of Graves Begis-tration and Enquiries. The figures asked for are not readily available, but are being prepared, and I will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member later.
