§ 23. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the African general service medal will be granted to officers and men of the Artillery and Infantry of the Southern Nigerian Regiment who took part in the operations during 1907, 1908, and 1909, when the Ihni country to the east of the River Niger was 1475 entered and occupied, and the country between the Niger and the Cross Rivers to the south of the Munshi country was taken over?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe reports on the operations in question have been fully considered by the Interdepartmental Council on Military Rewards, and I can add nothing to the reply given to the hon. Member for North Islington (Mr. Touche) by the then Under-Secretary of State for War on the 30th of April, 1912.
