HC Deb 13 August 1919 vol 119 c1315W
Mr. CAIRNS

asked the Secretary of State for War if the men who arrived at Bombay from Mesopotamia in April last for demobilisation are going to get their release at present; and, if not, when?

Mr. CHURCHILL

As I have already stated, men who arrived in India from Mesopotamia will be amongst the first to be released upon the arrival of the reinforcements which are being sent out from the United Kingdom. The reinforcements are now commencing to arrive in India, and 1,000 of these men have already commenced their journey home.
