HC Deb 15 May 1919 vol 115 c1789W
Sir R. NEWMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that as the troops serving in France and Belgium between 4th August and 21st November, 1914, are to be awarded a special distinction by being given the 1914 star, any special distinction can also be conferred on the troops who were serving in other theatres of war during the same period, some of whom had been in action while serving in Mesopotamia?

Captain GUEST

The troops referred to by my hon. Friend are eligible to receive the 1914–15 star.
