HC Deb 19 June 1918 vol 107 cc334-5
27. Mr. T. WILSON

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he will make arrangements for supplying men who have been discharged from the Army as unfit for military service and who are employed in recruiting offices with a distinctive badge to show that they have served in the Array or Navy, and thus prevent them being subjected to objectionable remarks from persons who visit these offices?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I think the case of these men is already met by the silver war badge, which is awarded to all individuals who have been discharged from the Army during the War and are permanently unfit for further military service. No other badge is available for issue.
