HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 cc1853-4W
Mr. LYON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether nothing has been heard from or officially about Driver F. Fellows, No. 168892, Royal Field Artillery, since he wrote to his family that he was embarking at Salonika en route for England in April; that his family have subsequently heard unofficially that Fellows got as far as Havre but was then ill and was therefore obliged to be left in some hospital; that a request for information, addressed to Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery Records, Woolwich, by Driver Fellows' family, produced no prompt reply; and that, answering a subsequent letter from a Member of this House, the Records Office wrote on 29th May that all they knew was that Fellows had embarked at Salonika on 11th April; and whether there is any machinery whereby the Records Office or some other department can act in this case and give some satisfactory information to Driver Fellows' family?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Inquiries are being made, and I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
