§ Mr. TICKLERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will consider the claims of the men of the National Reserve who volunteered for service at the beginning of the War, and who are now being discharged as over age and medically unfit; and will he recommend that a distinctive ribbon shall be awarded them in recognition of the services they have rendered in training recruits and to show that they did something in the great War?
345W
§ Mr. TENNANTI do not wish to be regarded as unsympathetic towards the work these men have done, hut I do not think a distinctive ribbon or medal can be specially granted to these men as distinct from other men who have been discharged.
