§ Major WARINGasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the percentage of sickness in the Salonika Force during the year 1916 transcended the record of any campaign in history; and, if so, whether any inquiry will be held, now the War is over, in order to apportion responsibility, as in the case of the first Mesopotamian Expedition?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am informed that the rate of admission to hospital at Salonika in 1916 compares favourably with other recent campaigns, and the death-rate compares very favourably. In these circumstances, I do not think that any inquiry, such as suggested, is called for.
