asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether medals will be issued to the irregular forces raised by the Government who have served in the Cape, Transvaal, and Zulu campaigns?

In reply to my hon. Friend, I may inform him that medals will be issued to such of the Colonial Forces, European or Native, as were regularly organized and disciplined as combatants, whether raised by the Colonial Government or by the General Officer commanding.
