HC Deb 29 July 1918 vol 109 cc64-5W
General McCALMONT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Colours of American regiments, which are carried on service, have in some cases been decorated by the French Republic to mark the valour of the unit; and whether steps will be taken to ensure that the Colours of British regiments are not debarred from similar honours by the fact that they are not carried on service?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am afraid this matter cannot be taken up at the present time. It will, however, be considered at the close of the War when the general question of honours for corps and regiments receives consideration.
