HC Deb 28 October 1920 vol 133 cc1966-7W
Mr. STANTON

asked the Secretary of State for War when the long-promised bronze scrolls or medallions will be delivered to the relatives of those who lost their lives in the late War; is it being done now; and how long will it take to supply all those entitled with the same?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

Two memorials, a scroll and a bronze plaque, are being issued to the next-of-kin of those who lost their lives in the War. Including issues to the Dominions, over 800,000 memorial scrolls have already been despatched to those entitled to them, and it is anticipated that the distribution will be completed by the new year. As regards the bronze plaque, over 88,000 have been issued at home and over 55,000 are awaiting despatch to the Dominions. Steps are being taken to expedite the manufacture and delivery of the bronze plaque.
