§ 63. Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will consider issuing a medal at intervals of, say, six months as, under the present circumstances, many men have died who are entitled to a medal, and, incidentally, the issue of medals protects from unnecessary annoyance those young men who have been invalided out of the service?
§ Mr. TENNANTAs is well known, medals are granted at His Majesty's pleasure in commemoration of arduous campaigns. At the present stage of hostilities their issue appears premature.
