HC Deb 29 July 1919 vol 118 c1952W
Mr. GEORGE JONES

asked the Secretary of State for War whether arrangements will be made for the conveyance by lorries or carts of the kitbags of non-commissioned officers and men from the rest camp at Boulogne to the dockside, so as to avoid the inconvenience and dislocation. at present caused?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Boulogne is used as a port both for troops returning from Eastern theatres of war and from France, Belgium, and Germany. Those from the East usually have large quantities- of kit, and lorries and general service wagons are therefore provided to carry these kits from the rest camp to the docks. The personnel from the other countries mentioned have very little kit, and they are able to carry it themselves, when marching from, the rest camp to the docks.
