§ 27. Viscount CURZONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether officers and men of the Royal Navy, Royal 1256 Marines, Royal Naval Reserve, and Royal Naval Division who have been mentioned in despatches during the War are to be entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf on the ribbon of the War Medal?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI presume my Noble Friend refers to the Victory Medal. As regards the Royal Naval Division, my Noble Friend is probably aware that they come under the War Office as regards medals. In the case of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, and Royal Naval Reserve, it has been decided, as the conditions in the Naval Service do not assimilate to those of the Army, not to issue this emblem.
