§ Lieutenant-Colonel ARCHER-SHEEasked the Secretary for War whether, in view of the fact that the War Office have 1172W published the war records of some battalions that have been disbanded, they will now publish the war record of the 12th (Bristol) Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment from November, 1915, to the date of disbandment, 5th October, 1918?
Captain GUESTThe war services of all battalions are in course of preparation, the system being, as far as possible, to write the record of battalions in the order in which they ceased to exist. The writing of these narratives involves much searching of records and war diaries, etc., and only some 200 have so far been issued, dealing with battalions disbanded and demobilised in the early part of the War. The battalion referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend, is one of the more recent disbandments and the narrative will be issued in due course.
