§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that officers who served in the Peninsular campaign and at Waterloo had the letters P and W placed before their names in the Army List from the years 1341 and 1816 respectively; and whether he will consider whether a similar honour can now be conferred on those few surviving officers who served in the Crimean War and in the Indian Mutiny?

§ Colonel SEELYThe Noble Lord is correct in his information concerning the letter W; but the letter P was not shown until the year 1880 in the quarterly Army List. The Noble Lord's proposal will receive careful consideration.
