HC Deb 11 March 1920 vol 126 c1543W
Mr. SITCH

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the many awards of medals and other decorations and certificates granted, not only to those who went to the base, but also to non-combatants, volunteers, special police, and other civil workers for services at home during the War, he can see his way to award some form of decoration to those who acted as instructors in this country who, by reason of their special and highly necessary duties at home, were precluded from earning any such recognition in any of the theatres of war?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I fear it is not possible to give special recognition to the men referred to, but as I have stated previously the question of an award for those who rendered service at home in connection with the War is under consideration.
