HC Deb 07 December 1925 vol 189 cc48-9W
Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, while an officer attached to a unit in France in 1915, merely for instructional purposes and not as an integral part of that unit, has not been regarded as entitled to receive the 1915 Star, his widow, if he happened to be killed when so attached, has been granted that Star?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

It would be contrary to the Regulations that an officer's widow should receive the 1914–15 Star, even if her husband were killed in France in 1915, unless he was entitled to it under the conditions which I explained in answer to a question by the hon. Member for Oxford University on the 27th November. No case has come to notice in which an award has been made contrary to these Regulations.
