Sir M. BARLOWasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that many British subjects, Who were in France at the outbreak of war enlisted in the French Army in 1914 and transferred to the British forces in 1915; and whether he will consider their claim to wear the red chevron for overseas service in 1914?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe point raised in my hon. Friend's question was carefully considered, and it was decided that service to qualify for the award of chevrons must be service in the British forces. I regret it is not possible to re-open the matter.
