BRITISH TROOPS, SHANGHAI.

HC Deb 24 March 1927 vol 204 cc598-9W

Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for War if it is at present intended to send any further British troops to Shanghai?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The 1st Battalion, Devonshire Regiment, are at present en route from Hong Kong to Shanghai. I cannot forecast what other changes it may be found necessary to make in the composition of the force at Shanghai.
