Lieutenant-Colonel Sir F. HALLasked the Secretary of State for War what were the respective mobilised strengths of the British, French, Italian, American, German, Austrian, and Turkish Armies on the 11th November, 1918, and the corresponding figures at the present time?
Captain GUESTThe figures are as follow:
permitted to do so but are only permitted to have the design sanctioned by the War Graves Commission; and whether he will grant permission for the marble cross to be erected by the parents at their own expense?
Captain GUESTI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies given to kindred questions asked by the hon. and gallant 931W Member for Finchley and others on the 18th, 19th, 24th and 27th February. This question is one for the Imperial War Graves Commission. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War is Chairman of that Commission, but otherwise it is quite independent of the War Office. I am afraid I cannot say anything more at present.
