HC Deb 05 April 1883 vol 277 cc1483-4
MR. GREER

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he will consider the advisability of giving medals to all Her Majesty's Nursing Sisters who served in the late campaign, whether on duty at Gozo, Cyprus, or Egypt?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

As stated in my answer to the Question of the hon. Member for West Aberdeenshire (Dr. Farquharson) on the 12th of March, the grant of the medal is restricted to those who served in Egypt between the 16th of July and the 14th of September, 1882. I do not consider it advisable that the terms should be extended, or that any exception should be made.
