HC Deb 21 October 1918 vol 110 cc452-3W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War why the war chevron has not been granted to the 59th Division, as it suffered heavy casualties in the Irish rebellion?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Chevrons are only awarded for service outside the United Kingdom, and I regret that the suppression of local disturbances cannot be regarded as qualifying service.
