§ Mr. WATERSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether many men were after the Armistice transferred to the North Russian area for fighting purposes, and were compelled to endure great hardships under abnormal climatic conditions; and seeing that special distinctions were granted to men, in the shape of D.S.O.'s and M.C.'s, the reason why the ordinary rank and file, who faithfully did their duty, are now being debarred from receiving any medal for such service?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe British War and Victory Medals will be684W granted for war services rendered in North Russia after the Armistice, and I hope that an Army Order laying down the conditions will be published shortly.
