HC Deb 24 February 1919 vol 112 cc1400-1W
Mr. BILLING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty why the officers and men of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who volunteered in 1914–15 have not received their 1914–15 decoration?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The 1914–15 star cannot be issued until supplies are available, but the officers and men of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who served at sea or in theatres of military operations up to the 31st December, 1915, are eligible for the decoration, and are entitled to wear the riband.
