Gibbs, of Cable Street, St. George's East, served upwards of 365 twenty years in the 2nd Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers before he was transferred to the 1st City Imperial Yeomanry, would an application for the Volunteer long - service medal receive favourable consideration if supported by the commanding officer of Mr. Gibbs' regiment.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) I cannot undertake to give a reply to the Question until the application has been forwarded to the War Office through the proper channels.
