§ MR. A. STAFFORDsaid, that previously to the recess he had received an answer from the hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary of War on this subject, which, he believed, was not strictly accurate, and he would therefore now ask the hon. Gentleman to state the precise mode in which soldiers from the Crimea now at home or in hospital would be able to get the medal and clasps lately issued for services in the Crimea?
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELsaid, he believed there was some inaccuracy in the answer which he had formerly given to the hon. Gentleman on this subject. The course, however, which would be pursued would be this: The depôt officers of the 1315 Crimean regiments would be called on to furnish returns of all the men belonging to their regiments who had been in the Crimea, and who were now in this country, and upon this list being forwarded to the Board of General Officers the medals would be sent to the depôt officers for distribution. At the same time, soldiers at their own homes would be able, on application to the Secretary of the Board of General Officers, to have their medals sent to them.
