HC Deb 30 June 1919 vol 117 c637W
Major WARING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the particular military achievement which secured to Generals Sir H. Gough and F. Milne admission to a high degree of an order of chivalry on 3rd June; and whether he will consider the desirability of publishing in future the reasons for conferring such decorations, as in the case of political honours, in order that the public may come to know the deeds of generals?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The honours to which my hon. and gallant Friend alludes were conferred for services rendered in connection with military operations in France and Flanders and the Balkans, respectively. With regard to the latter part of the question, I do not think it is desirable to adopt the practice suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend
