102. Captain CRAIGasked the Under secretary of State for War whether any 2884 decoration or reward has been given to any officer, non-commissioned officer, or private soldier for having escaped from an enemy prison camp; and why, in view of the courage, resource and determination shown by many of these men, their successes in escaping have not been recognised in some way by the War Office?
Mr. HOPEI am informed by the military authorities that the answer to the first part of this question is in the negative, but that the matter is under the consideration of the Army Council.
