§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War, in view of the services rendered by the Royal Army Medical Corps on board the hospital ships, and the fact that they are in the zone of danger from mines and torpedoes, whether the Army Council will consider if their services at the end of three years of war may be more fully recognised, especially in the Honours List; and whether he can make any statement as to those services?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONWhile recognising fully the services of the staffs of hospital ships, I hardly think that the risks they run are as great as those encountered by the combatant or medical corps at the front.
