HC Deb 24 November 1919 vol 121 c1456W
Mr. BRIANT

asked the Secretary of State for War when the decorations awarded in the field to soldiers and airmen in the recent North Russia campaign will be announced in the "London Gazette?"

Mr. CHURCHILL

As regards awards to the Army, I would refer my hon. Friend to the written answer on Thursday last to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull. I am afraid it will not be possible to publish in the "London Gazette" the outstanding awards before the middle of December except possibly in the case of Military Medals and Meritorious Service Medals which may be gazetted in the first week in December. I understand that the General Officer Commanding. Archangel, has yet to notify further names of officers and men on whom he conferred immediate awards. As regards the Royal Air Force, all the decorations, etc., awarded in the field were announced in the "London Gazette" on the 18th November.
