HC Deb 20 August 1940 vol 364 c1153W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any information is available as to the fate of the different British war memorials erected on French soil after the war of 1914–1918?

Mr. Eden

No definite information as to the present condition of the British war memorials erected on French or Belgian soil has so far been received. The Imperial War Graves Commission have naturally been making inquiries through all available channels, and an announcement will be made by them as soon as authentic reports have been received. There is, however, evidence that the damage done to these memorials is not as great as had been feared.
