§ Mr. BAKERasked the Secretary of State for War the total casualties during the late War sustained by the British Empire, the Allied and Associated Powers, the enemy Powers, and Russia?
§ Mr. WALSHI would refer the hon. Member to the figures given in the Stationery Office publication of "Statistics of the Military Effort of the British Empire during the Great War," pages 237–240 and 352–357. I am requesting the Stationery Office to send a copy of this book to the Library of the House.
§ Mr. BAKERasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the total deaths and other casualties which occurred during the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and give similar figures for the Battle of Albert, 1st July to 13th July, 1916, as regards all the Powers concerned?
§ Mr. WALSHI regret that the precise figures asked for are not available; figures as to the casualties in France during the period of the Somme offensive are, how-2634W ever, given on page 324 of the book to which I am referring the hon. Member in my reply to another question. The casualties in France during July, 1916, are given on page 258 of the same book.
