website Questions in the House 1914 onwards

[Havrincourt]

I am not sure if this site has been linked before, but here goes. The Hansard index shows records of questions asked in the houses of parliament, just click on the year and find some very interesting articles...Somme losses, underage recruits, POW treatment etc

Thanks for a brilliant link Andy. Bookmarked for later consumption.

Who would have thought that this would be a problem then?

Hello Diane

Yes, if they could only see what is happening today. I have only read some parts of the site, but have found many interesting topics, the questions about youngsters not being trained for trench warfare is just one

Andy,

Thanks for sharing this link...I foresee many hours and late nights spent in front of the PC monitor with this site.

One tip - do not stop at 1918.

Some of the questions asked after the war are very interesting, especially those about demobilsation and the conditions men lived and worked under during 1919 in France.

A few years ago, I spent hours searching through the printed indexes and reports and in just ten minutes of idly playing around on the website have found references that I missed. Thanks, Andy.
