Major TERRELLasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Silver War Badge is refused to officers and men who have been discharged from the Army on account of physical disabilities resulting from service in the present War, but whose disabilities are not certified to be permanent, though they are probably unfit during the War for further military service; and, seeing that such refusal inflicts hardship on a number of officers and men who have voluntarily served the country to the best of their ability what steps he proposes to take?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe Military Service (Review of Exceptions) Act has introduced new considerations into the question of the award of the Silver War Badge, and the whole matter is being reconsidered. An Army Order will shortly be issued on the subject.
