§ MAJOR RASCH ( Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Volunteer Decoration is still conferred by Parcel Post; and whether he will consider the advisability of conferring this decoration in some more formal manner?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe Volunteer Officers' Decoration is usually presented at a parade or other suitable assembly of Volunteers; but in cases where officers, owing to ill-health or on account of distance, are unable to attend such parade, the post is obviously the best means of transmitting the decoration. I may add that officers of the Regular Army, under similar circumstances, receive their "orders" and medals in the same way.
