HC Deb 18 February 1920 vol 125 c908W
Mr. WIGNALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to grant a medal to the officers and men who were retained on Home service during the War and who never left the British Isles; and, if so, whether the many elderly men who volunteered for service on the East Coast and elsewhere will be entitled to the decoration?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply on Monday last to the hon. Member for Elland. In the event of a medal being granted for services rendered at home in connection with the War, the claims of those mentioned in the last part of the question would not be lost sight of.
