HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 cc1176-7W
Major HILLS

asked the Secretary of State for War why officers in possession of the Volunteer Force decoration are not eligible to receive the Territorial Force decoration; whether it is unfair on an officer who has served so long as to qualify for both decorations not to be able to receive both; and, since there can be very few who are qualified for both, will he have the matter reconsidered?

Captain GUEST

It has been decided that officers may qualify for both decorations, and the necessary instructions will shortly be issued.
