HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 c341W
Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that no mention or recognition of services rendered has been made to the survivors of His Majesty's ship "Glatton," and if he can have this matter inquired into?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Vice-Admiral Commanding Dover Patrol brought to the notice of the Admiralty the names of officers and men considered deserving of special mention for their services on this occasion. In consequence of his recommendation, the Albert Medal was awarded to two officers, a petty officer, and an able seaman from other ships in harbour at the time, who went on board His Majesty's ship "Glatton" to assist in saving life, and an expression of the appreciation of the Board of Admiralty was conveyed to one officer of His Majesty's ship "Glatton" and two ratings from another ship. These were all the names brought to the notice of the Admiralty at the time. One other recommendation has since been received and is being considered.
