I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, when the medal for the relief of Chitral will be issued to the troops engaged?

It has been decided to strike a new medal for frontier services, the first clasp of which will be given for the Chitral Campaign. The design is now awaiting final approval, and the dies will shortly be sent out to India, where the medals will be struck.
