HC Deb 30 July 1912 vol 41 c1836
57. Mr. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give a date when the meritorious service medal for the Royal Navy will be issued?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Men of the Royal Navy are not eligible for this medal, which is restricted to the Royal Marines. I am not aware of any proposal to extend the award of the medal to the men of the Royal Navy.
