§ MR. JOSEPH WALTON (Yorkshire, W. R., BarnsleyI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether a clasp 1242 or clasps will be issued for the punitive expedition against the Ashantis, which lasted from 15th July, 1900, the date of the relief of Kumasi, until the 31st December, 1900, and involved repeated engagements.
§ MR. BRODRICKIn accordance with Army Order 249 of December, 1901, the clasp "Kumasi" will be granted to those actually concerned in the defence or relief of Kumasi. The other operations subsequent to the relief are not considered of sufficient importance for the grant of a clasp.
