Royal Engineers and the administrative services. Theirs have 
      been an immense task to keep communications open and To reconstruct 
      them where they are destroyed, and yet throughout this fighting 
      the army has never lacked for-a moment a shell or food or supplies 
      of shy kind. It is my duty to give the House the casualties from 
      the moment of the landing on the mainland to 23rd November. The 
      British casualties were 3,212 killed, 9,709 wounded and 3,153 
      missing. Total 16,074, The American casualties were to 25th November: 
      1,603 killed, 6,361 wounded, 2,685 missing. Total 10,649. Up 
      to the most recent counting the German prisoners taken by the 
                  Allies total just over 6,000.             
 
                                                            
 
 
Let me sum up my impressions, of these three weeks. My Right 
      Hon. Friend and I were greatly encouraged by the outcome of our 
      three conference. So I believe were all our Allied colleagues 
      that extent I bring the House a message of good cheer. These 
      events, of course, give no cause for easy optimism---far from 
      it. If I were to do that I would give my message falsely. The 
      truth, on the country, is that the very magnitude of the plans 
      to which we have set our hands, to which the heads of other governments 
      have given their approval, will call for an immense effort in 
      coming months from each and all of the United Nations. Plans, 
      however good, can only yield results if the force of the citizens 
      in all the lands is behind them. We have set ourselves a hard 
      task in our determination to achieve victory at the earliest 
      possible date. Great battles are impending. For this effort we 
      shall need all our strength, all our courage, all our unity in 
      a greater measure perhaps than ever before. I ask this House 
          for our part that effort will be forthcoming."
