HC Deb 12 March 1918 vol 104 c155
10. Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether men in the Royal Army Medical Corps who are on ambulance transport and hospital ships are recognised as being on active service; and, it not, seeing that the ships they are on run the risk of being sunk by mines or torpedoed, he will place these men on the active service list and also allow them to wear the red and blue service chevron?

Mr. MACPHERSON

It has been decided that medical personnel, including nurses serving on hospital ships and ambulance transports, are eligible for chevrons by virtue of such service.
