§ GENERAL RUSSELL (Cheltenham)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, seeing that it is the custom to send to relatives of officers who have died on service in the field the medals to which these officers have become entitled by that service, he will explain why the Sudan Queen's medal has been refused to an officer who lost his life in the 1896 campaign on the Nile.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMMy hon. and gallant friend probably refers to the case of Captain Fenwick, of the Royal Sussex 621 Regiment, who died in the Dongola Expedition of 1896. For that expedition no Queen's medal was granted.
