Sir,
I am sending herewith four repatriated ex-soldiers! who landed this morning in Hongkong and are bound for
Singapore.
Their names are as follows:-
Corporal C. S. Boyle
Private E. Lingard
Sergeant S. R. Williams
Private R. 0. Jones
Each man has in his possession a ticket authoris-
ing the Canadian Pacific to procure onward passage from Hong Kong to his destination. They have been to the Canadian Pacific who say that onward passage cannot be procured for two
months.
All have been demobilised and are therefore no
longer under my charge.
The men inform me that they are without funds and
I suggest that if possible pressure be brought on the Canadian Pacific to provide a passage as early as possible. Each man carries an A.F.W.5098B addressed to H.B.M.Consul, China.
