HC Deb 30 November 1920 vol 135 c1139W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether those officers and men who served on His Majesty's telegraph cable ships throughout the War have been denied the 1914–15 Star and Victory medals: and, if so, on what grounds?

Sir J. CRAIG

These officers and men are not eligible either for the 1914–15 Star or for the Victory medal, the award of which is limited, in the case of officers and crews of ships, to those who belonged to the Active or Reserve Naval or Marine Forces or who served under special naval engagements.
