HC Deb 02 October 1941 vol 374 c739W
Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for War, concerning the 220 Palestinian Jewish soldiers missing in the conquest of Syria, how many were released; how did they come to surrender; were they armed; and were they under British officers?

Captain Margesson

I have so far been unable to verify that any Palestinian Jewish soldiers were captured or missing during the Syrian campaign, but further inquiries are being made from the Commander-in-Chief, Middle East.
