HC Deb 28 October 1918 vol 110 cc1128-9W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the War Office, in deciding to limit the issue of a medal to commemorate the Gallipoli Campaign to the Colonial troops which took part in it, have overlooked the fact that other contingents than Colonial ones took a prominent part in the expedition and shared the dangers, reverses, and successes with the Colonial divisions; and whether he can see his way to extend the issue of the medal to all the divisions which were engaged?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I regret I cannot at present add anything to the replies given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to questions on this subject on the 17th and 21st October.
