Mr. ALFRED DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give special attention to the claims to demobilisation of the Royal Engineers who have been serving for long periods in India; and what steps be is taking to arrange for their relief?
Captain GUESTThe question of demobilisation of all troops in India must be considered as a whole, and I am afraid special facilities cannot be given for men of the Royal Engineers. Reliefs for India and all garrisons overseas are being supplied from men of the after-war Army as rapidly as they can be made available.
