§ Mr. BRIGGSasked the Secretary of State for War if there is to be any distinction between the riband of the 1914 Star and that of the 1915 Star?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe question is still under consideration.
§ Mr. LYONasked the Secretary of State for War why the Army Order regarding the 1914–15 Star defines the theatre of war in such a manner that there is a distinction made between those who volunteered for service in those years, inasmuch as the Star is given to those who were sent to, and retained at, bases in France and not to those who were sent to guard Gibraltar, Malta, and Bermuda?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe 1914–15 Star was granted to reward those who entered a theatre of war up to and including the 31st December, 1915. As Gibraltar, Malta, and Bermuda were not theatres of war, service at those places could not qualify for the award of the Star.
