HC Deb 17 December 1919 vol 123 cc426-7W
Major BREESE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the ready response to the appeal made by the late Lord Kitchener to ex-soldiers of all ranks to assist in the training of the New Armies, it is proposed to give any recognition, by way of distinctive badge or otherwise, to officers, non-commissioned officers and men who served in the military forces of the Crown at home during the period September, 1914, to September, 1918, but through no fault of their own, by reason of age, physical infirmity, or other cause, did not serve overseas?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my reply on 9th December to a question on this subject asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Bradford East.
