§ 31. Mr. W THORNEasked the Secretary of State for War if the Government have considered a proposal emanating from a number of men serving at the front to the effect that every soldier who has had six months service at the front should receive a stripe of honour on the same principle that the soldiers receive a stripe when they are wounded; if he is aware that the principle is accepted by the French Government and extended to their soldiers; and if he intends taking action in the matter?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 20th July to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Wight.
