HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 cc1422-3W
Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many soldiers in the Army died in 1910 and 1911; and how many deserted, were invalided, discharged for misconduct, discharged as not likely to become efficient, and imprisoned, excluding India?

Colonel SEELY

It is presumed that the words "excluding India" are meant to apply to the whole question. In that case the figures are not available, as the returns furnished to the War Office do not admit of separating the figures for the troops in India except as regards imprisonment. The figures for the whole army will be found in the General Annual Reports (page 71 for imprisonment, and pages 32 and 33 for the other items) for the years in question.
