§ 101. Captain C. CRAIGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether seeing that the Army Council have decided that no recommendation for reward for services in the field which were per formed prior to 15th November, 1917, can now be accepted, and which shuts out practically all officers and men taken prisoners before that date from any hope of reward, he will endeavour to have this decision modified to the extent of permit ting recommendations of prisoners of war for honours to be considered although the application arrives after the date mentioned?
Mr. HOPEI am informed by the military authorities that the Army Council have now before them the question of considering recommendations for officers and other ranks who have been prisoners of war for services rendered prior to 15th November, 1917.
