§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the feeling that those physicians and surgeons who have given voluntary service in war hospitals in this country should receive recognition for their services; and whether he will arrange for a list of their names to be prepared?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe valuable services of those physicians and surgeons who have given voluntary service in war hospitals controlled by the War Office have not been overlooked, and a "Special Gazette" of the Order of the British Empire, published on the 18th February last, included gentlemen who have rendered services of this nature. Further names are under consideration for the "Honours Gazette" of the 3rd June, 1919. It is not possible to prepare a list of all these gentlemen, but the War Office have a, comprehensive list of those who have been recommended for recognition in connection with the 3rd June, 1919, "Gazette," and every endeavour is being made to ensure that deserving services are not overlooked. At this stage, however, the names cannot be divulged.
