§ MR. YERBURGHI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that certain of the battalions of Imperial Yeomanry that went to South Africa in 1902 arrived there too late for the grant of the Queen's medal, in consequence of the fact that they had been kept at Aldershot two months longer than it was stated would be the case in the warrant under which they enlisted, the same medal could be given to them as was given to the Militia employed at Malta.
LORD STANLEYNo, Sir; this medal was given for service in the Mediterranean, and is not applicable to South African service.
§ MR. YERBURGHI shall take the earliest opportunity of drawing attention to this matter.
