HC Deb 27 June 1856 vol 142 c2075
MR. H. BARING

said, he wished to ask the hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary for War why the insignia of the Legion of Honour had not been distributed to those officers of the Crimean army who had been long since selected by General Codrington for that decoration?

MR. FREDERICK PEEL

said, a selection of the men belonging to the British army who were to receive the decoration had been made; and as soon as the Imperial decree containing their nomination appeared, and the insignia had been received from the French Government, steps would be taken for their distribution.
