HC Deb 20 June 1916 vol 83 c11
6. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what recognition is to be given to the officers and men of the Sherwood Foresters who lost their lives and received wounds in the recent street fighting in Dublin, when they acquitted themselves with the coolness of seasoned troops, as well as with gallantly, under circumstances calculated to try experienced veterans?

Mr. TENNANT

Recognition has already been expressed of the admirable way the troops behaved on the occasion in question.

Sir J. D. REES

Is recognition to be given precisely on the same footing as for ordinary service?

Mr. TENNANT

I do not know whether in the fullness of time any further recognition can be given. At present I can only say that recognition has been expressed by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister.
