HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 c2057W
Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Private R. L. Burnett, 4345768, East Yorkshire Regiment, who is at his home at Pudsey, on embarkation leave prior to going to the M.E.F., has been a prisoner of war for over five years and only back in this country for 5½ months; and, as he has not spent a Christmas at home for six years and is in demobilisation Group 26, will he consider posting Private Burnett to a home command for the remaining few months of his service.

Mr. Lawson

This man was incorrectly warned for a draft for C.M.F. The warning has now been cancelled.
