HC Deb 05 July 1916 vol 83 c1539W
Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the badges given to men who have served in this War and been discharged will be all of one kind; and, if the form and conditions of these badges are not yet settled, whether he will arrange for some marks upon the badges to show if the bearer was wounded, if he has served more than six months abroad, whether he was in the Army before August, 1914, and any other significant facts?

Mr. TENNANT

I presume my hon. Friend is alluding to the badge which I mentioned in an answer I gave to the hon. Member for the Devizes Division on the 27th June. If so, I cannot at present state the conditions under which the award of the badge will be made. I do not think it would be practicable to use the badge so as to serve the purposes suggested in the latter part of the question.
