HC Deb 13 November 1940 vol 365 c1724W
Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Home Secretary whether, with a view to recognising and stimulating the morale of Londoners, he will consider giving permission to civilians wounded in the battle to wear wound stripes and having the names of those killed kept for record and honour, as were the names of soldiers killed in the last war?

Miss Wilkinson

As regards the first part of the Question, I do not think it would be appropriate for civilians to wear wound stripes. In regard to the second part, my right hon. Friend has under consideration the question of the most suitable means of honouring the names of civilians killed by enemy action.
