HC Deb 19 November 1917 vol 99 c874W
General CROFT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the star for the decoration of the first Expeditionary Force in 1914 is yet ready for distribution; and, if not, whether instructions have been given that the ribbon may be worn?

Mr. MACPHERSON

An Army Order will be published shortly containing full particulars about the star and riband.

General CROFT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the chevrons which have been granted for service in the field have yet been distributed?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No, Sir; the detailed instructions regarding the issue are being prepared, but my hon. and gallant Friend will realise that the arrangements for the manufacture of the millions of chevrons required will take time to complete.
