HC Deb 10 December 1919 vol 122 cc1287-8
9. Viscount CURZON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he was now in a position to make any statement as to whether officers and men of the Royal Navy, the Royal Naval Reserve, and the Royal Naval Division were entitled to the inter-Allied War Medal; and, if so, under what conditions?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Officers and men of the forces mentioned will be granted the Victory Medal, provided they were mobilised and rendered approved service either—

  1. (i) at sea between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight 11th/12th November, 1918, or
  2. (ii) on the establishment of a, unit within a theatre of military operations.
As the orders are too long to be given in full, I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy.

Mr. A. SHAW

Will that apply to the Royal Marines?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Yes, certainly.
