Sir C. LOWTHERasked the Secretary of State for War whether a monument to the late Private W. C. M'Kay, No. 2176, Glasgow Yeomanry, erected in the communal extension cemetery at Bailleul in 1916, and still standing in January, 1919, has been removed; if so, by whose authority; and what steps will be taken to restore the missing monument?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am not aware that this memorial, of 1551W which no trace can now be found, was standing in January, 1919. The cemetery was almost completely wrecked by shellfire in 1918, and I have no reason to suppose that any of the few private memorials then left have since been removed. The cemetery has been reconstructed and the individual graves, including that of the late Private M'Kay, have been marked by temporary wooden crosses pending the erection of a headstone.
