§ MR. ELLIS GRIFFITHTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of I Mr. A. J. Vogan, late sergeant of "A" Squadron, New Zealand (Prince of Wales') Light Horse, who during the late South African War served with distinction as a sergeant of Scouts under the Field Intelligence Department, and captured Commandant Scheepers, for whose capture rewards had been offered; and whether, seeing that Major Bramley, his commanding officer, recommended this man for the Distinguished Service medal, he will explain why Vogan has received neither medal nor reward, and state whether he will take steps to ensure that Vogan's services shall receive recognition.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Sergeant Vogan's claims to reward were fully considered, but owing to the large number of even more deserving cases it was found impracticable to include his name amongst those nominated for reward.
