Colonial Forces (Official History)

HC Deb 29 February 1956 vol 549 cc121-2W

57. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he proposes to issue an official history of the Colonial Forces during the last war; and why no steps have been taken to prepare this.

Mr. Hare

The operations of the Colonial Forces in the main theatres of war are being recorded in the Official History of the War. In addition, a number of colonial Governments have published or are preparing official histories of their own forces. I do not think any further steps are necessary.
