§ Major EDWARD WOODasked the Secretary of State for War, with reference to his recent statement that all 1914 men would be sent home within the next month, whether it is intended to include men in the Royal Army Medical Corps serving in Russia amongst those to be released?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe arrangements for the release of 1914 and other men eligible for demobilisation, as already announced, do not apply to the troops in North Russia and Siberia. Separate arrangements to meet the peculiar circumstances obtaining in those localities have been made, and a general announcement concerning them was made in the Press on the 5th July.
