§ Mr. JODRELLasked the Secretary of State for War if he is now able to give further and more accurate particulars of the circumstances connected with the disappearance of the bulk of the officers and men of the 1/5th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment in the fighting near Gallipoli; and if he is aware that the anxiety among the inhabitants of King's Lynn and the surrounding district on this matter is unabated, and that a strong desire exists that a full inoury should take place and a public report be made as soon as, possible?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo facts concerning the fate of the 1/5th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment, have come to light other than those contained in Sir Ian Hamilton's Dispatch, published in the Supplement of the "London Gazette," dated 6th January, 1910 (page 303). It is regretted that under these circumstances it is impossible to hold an inquiry.
