56. Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYasked the Secretary of State for War whether the troops in Malta at the time of the South African War received the South African medal?
Captain GUESTThe answer is in the negative. Certain troops in Malta at the time of the South African War received the Mediterranean Medal, which was of different design to the South Africa War Medal, but with the same riband.
§ Colonel ASHLEYIs it not the fact that troops in St. Helena received the South African Medal, and were they not much safer than the troops in Malta during the War?
