HC Deb 21 February 1916 vol 80 c428
64. Mr. PETO

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Government to recommend the early issue of an Imperial war service medal for Gallipoli to all British troops engaged in the operations there to be awarded both to troops recruited at Home and overseas?

Mr. TENNANT

It is not considered desirable to make any recommendation regarding the grant of war medals before the conclusion of the War.

65. Mr. PETO

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the services rendered by the 29th Division in Gallipoli, it is the intention of the Government to recommend the award of appropriate decorations for distinguished service in the field to all the survivors, both officers and men?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir.
