13. Colonel NEWMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether a decoration will be awarded to the officers and men who served in any of the Russian Expeditionary Forces?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLOfficers and men who served on the establishment of a unit with the Russian Expeditionary Forces will be entitled to receive the British Medal and the Victory Medal. In the event of clasps being awarded, they will also receive the appropriate ones.
§ Mr. CHURCHILLYes, he will get the Victory Medal and the British Medal.
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYIs it proposed to issue a clasp for this particular expedition and for no other expedition?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe whole question of clasps has been the subject of the most careful investigation, and I am not prepared to deal in a piecemeal fashion with the general issue of clasps.
