§ Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War the position of the enemy in East Africa; whether General von Lettow has surrendered; where he now is; and when the troops operating in East Africa will be able to return home?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONOn 12th November the small German force under General Von Lettow Vorbeck was approaching Kasama from the direction of Fife (on the Northern Rhodesia-German East Africa border) pursued by a column of our African troops. Measures have been taken to acquaint the German commander with the terms of the Armistice. The release of our troops from active operations must depend on his compliance with these terms.
