§ 73. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in the issue of the "1914 Bronze Star," the men of the Indian Expeditionary Force, who were landed at Marseilles, will be entitled to the medal, while the men who were on the water and sent to England to form further divisions for embarkation will not; and, if so, will he consider the advisability of issuing the medal to all the men?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIn accordance with Army Order No. 350 of 1917 the "1914 Star" will be awarded to all officers, warrant officers, and non-commissioned officers, and men of the British and Indian Forces, who actually served in France or Belgium on the establishment of a unit of the British Expeditionary Force between the 5th August, 1914, and midnight of the 22nd–23rd November, 1914. Unless individuals comply with the conditions of this Army Order they are ineligible for the award of the Star.
