HC Deb 19 March 1919 vol 113 c2109W
Mr. WARING

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state the percentages of rank and file, officers below the rank of brigadier-general, and officers of and above the rank of brigadier-general, all such ranks being held on the 11th November, 1918, who have been demobilised or reverted to their permanent grade between that date and 1st March?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The only figures I have are those for demobilised officers and rank and file respectively, without distinguishing between officers below and above the rank of brigadier-general, but this would not affect the calculations. The percentages are:

Officers. Per cent. Other ranks. Per cent.
Dispersed 24.26 38.51
Discharged 3.65 6.27
Total 27.91 44.78

I regret that the figures as to reversions are not available.
