Major HENDERSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether Mrs. Beckett, 26, McLellan Street, Glasgow, 453W sister and next-of-kin of the late Private W. Lothian, No. 19,473, Highland Light Infantry, has not yet received her brother's 1914–15 Star, although his estate has now been settled; and when she may expect to receive it?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONIn accordance with Private Lothian's will, the 1914–15 Star and other medals due to the deceased soldier became the property of his father. The father, however, died intestate, and the medals, therefore, pass by law to his (the father's) next-of-kin, who is his widow and the step-mother of Private Lothian.
