HC Deb 30 April 1919 vol 115 cc165-6W
Mr. CAIRNS

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state the total number of officers who have served in the Army since the outbreak of War till the signing of the Armistice, setting out the body to which they belonged and the number of commands and staff appointments gained in the Regular Army, the Special Reserve, the New Army, and the Territorial Forces?

Mr. CHURCHILL

This information is not readily available, and in view of the pressure of work in the department concerned I regret that the labour involved in its compilation cannot at the present time be undertaken.
