HC Deb 11 July 1911 vol 28 cc183-4
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether all troops who were on duty at the Coronation will receive the Coronation medal?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for War (Colonel Seely)

Representatives of each unit which was present or sent a detachment to London for the Coronation will receive the medal. I am not yet in a position to state the exact allotment.

Mr. ASHLEY

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that this distribution of medals will apply to the troops in Dublin and Edinburgh?

Colonel SEELY

That is another question which I could not answer without notice.

Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to secure that these officers and soldiers will get the medals?

Colonel SEELY

Which officers?

Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

In Dublin.

Colonel SEELY

I will inquire about it. No doubt some medals will be distributed.
