HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 cc1264-5W
Major GLYN

asked the Secretary of State for War if, after consultation with the Minister of Health, and the Home Secretary, he can state how many men, if any, having served in any branch of the Army, are now under care in institutions, having lost their memories or from other causes have lost their identity?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I understand my hon. and gallant Friend to refer to discharged unidentified soldiers in asylums or other institutions, and it so I can assure him that no such cases exist. As stated in a written reply to a question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Tottenham, North, on the 19th December, there are three cases of soldiers unidentified owing to mental trouble. These have not been discharged from the Army, but are retained in a military hospital.
