HC Deb 07 July 1915 vol 73 cc377-8W
Mr. NEWDEGATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War when a full list of casualties incurred at the Dardanelles, up to and including 6th June, will be given to the public?

Mr. TENNANT

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has already given a figure up to 31st May. Further statements on this matter must depend upon circumstances.

Mr. MONTAGUE BARLOW

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the possibility of expediting the delivery of letters from those serving in the Dardanelles to their relatives in England?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I understand that at the outset considerable difficulties were experienced by the military authorities in organising a rapid postal service from the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. These difficulties are being steadily overcome, and there has been a considerable improvement recently.
