HC Deb 08 December 1944 vol 406 c906W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Prime Minister whether the total numbers of cases of disease and deaths from disease suffered by American troops are included in the figures of casualties published every month; and, if so, why similar figures cannot be issued showing casualties from disease amongst the British Services.

The Prime Minister

No, Sir. I understand it is not the practice of the United States Government to include the number of cases of disease or deaths from disease in the figures of casualties published each month.
