HC Deb 31 March 1947 vol 435 c268W
Mr. Wilkes

asked the Secretary of State for War when soldiers at present stationed in Greece and whose demobilisation group number is 45 will be demobilised in the United Kingdom; and whether he will state the reason for the delay in demobilising from Greece soldiers in Group 45.

Mr. Bellenger

Soldiers in Group 45 stationed in Greece were generally speaking, released at the appropriate time. It may be that a few were retained as operationally vital. So far as I am aware, however, on 28th February there were only two men of this Group still compulsorily retained in the whole of M.E.L.F., which includes Greece.
