Captain BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War if any awards or decorations are going to be granted for the operations of last summer on the Afghan frontier, and, if so, when they will be published?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLYes, Sir; recommendations from the Government of India have recently been received and are being dealt with. There are several points which necessitate reference to India, and, in consequence, there will be2192W some delay in announcing the awards in the "London Gazette." As regards the award of a medal for these operations, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the replies given on the 7th and 22nd June to the hon. and gallant Member for Melton. I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of the relevant Army Order.
