§ Lieut.-Colonel Sir A. WARRENasked the Secretary of State for War why the men of the 239th Army Troop, Royal Engineers, Poplar, instead of being transferred to the 132nd Troop, were not returned to London as the cadre of the Poplar Company, Royal Engineers?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLWithout more definite information as to the men referred to, I regret it is not possible to give a complete answer. It is, however, most probable that the men transferred to the 132nd Army Troops Company, Royal Engineers, were ineligible for demobilisation and were, therefore, to be utilised for the Army of Occupation. The cadre of the 239th Army Troops Company has been sent home.
