HC Deb 11 July 1919 vol 117 c2152W
Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that British troops on the Russian Front, who have already endured for the winter months the rigours of campaigning there, were promised in April last early return, he can now say when they will be brought home?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The majority of the troops who have endured a winter campaign in North Russia have already been brought home. The remaining individuals are being repatriated as quickly as their reliefs become available, These troops were told that they would be brought home in time to see the harvest gathered in, and this promise is being: carried out.
