CREMATION ON BATTLEFIELD.

HC Deb 16 June 1915 vol 72 cc669-70W

Mr. FLETCHER

asked the Under-Secretary for War if he has considered the practicability and desirability, during the hot weather, of cremating the dead on the field of battle?

Mr. TENNANT

The question of the disposal of the dead is entirely a matter for the discretion of the military authorities in the zone of operations.
