Captain COOTEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of extending the award of the Victory Medal to medical officers, chaplains, Royal Army Medical Corps orderlies, and nurses, who served on board hospital ships during the War, in view of the fact that this service was one of considerable and continuous danger from mines, submarines, and shell fire, e.g., at Gallipoli?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe claims of those referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend have not been overlooked. I hope the Army Order authorising the grant of this, medal will be issued shortly.
