HC Deb 10 November 1921 vol 148 cc645-6W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Secretary of State for War how many British officers and men are still unaccounted for as the result of the Great War; if the figures previously given have been modified by the work of the exhumation parties which have been at work since the Armistice; and how many missing have been traced under the following heads: dead, died of wounds, and prisoners of war?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The number of missing officers and men still unaccounted for is approximately 93,800. In approximately 6,100 cases of officers and men originally reported missing evidence of death has been obtained as a result of the work of the exhumation parties and other searches by the Imperial War Graves Commission. I regret that the information asked for in the last part of the question is not available.
