HC Deb 11 November 1920 vol 134 cc1390-1W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether parents of soldiers who have fallen in the War are entitled to receive the War medals earned by their sons, including the Mons Star?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Medals of soldiers who have fallen in the War are issued to their legatees if a Will exists. If no Will exists, they are issued to the next-of-kin in the order of precedence laid down in Army Order 256 of 1917.
