HC Deb 24 July 1919 vol 118 c1584W
Mr. LUNN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the naval forces of any other Power are co-operating with the British Navy in the Baltic; if so, to what Powers do they belong; who is the officer in command of the British Navy in the Baltic; and whether he commands forces, or is subordinate to any officer commanding forces, of any other Power?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Naval forces of France, Italy, the United States and Esthonia are co-operating with British Naval Forces in the Baltic. Rear-Admiral Sir Walter Cowan is in command of the British Naval Forces, and the forces of the other Powers operating in the Baltic work in conjunction with the force under his command, but he docs not command the forces of any other Power, and is not subordinate to any officer commanding forces of any other Power.
