§ GENERAL RUSSELL (Cheltenham)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that medals have recently been issued to the survivors of those who took part in the Red River and other expeditions now of by no means recent date, the Government will also consider the claim of those who took part in the Boer-war of 1881, in connection with which no medal or decoration has as yet been issued, considering the arduous nature of, some of the operations, especially the defence of the garrisons.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMMedals are not granted for campaigns of which the general result was not successful, and the-Boer war of 1881 comes in this category.
