§ Mr. MITCHELLasked the Secretary of State for War what information he can give regarding the fate of Private P. V. B. Hunt, No. 73843, No. 14 platoon, Z Company, 2nd Hants (Grogan's Brigade), Allied Forces, Archangel, North Russia, last seen at Tulgas, wounded in the thigh, surrounded by Bolsheviks, on 20th June, 1919, reported prisoner?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe first report received in the War Office was that Private Hunt was wounded and missing on 20th June, 1919, and later the military authorities in Russia were enabled to report that he had died on the field. No corroboration whatever has been received of the unofficial statement that Private Hunt became a prisoner of war, and I regret that there is no ground for doubting the accuracy of the official report of his death.
