HC Deb 27 January 1942 vol 377 cc586-7W
Mr. Groves

asked the Secretary of State for War whether medical officers in the Army Medical Department and the Royal Army Medical Corps are provided with Red Cross brassards; and upon what occasion they are required to wear the same?

Captain Margesson

Brassards with the Geneva Cross are issued to all officers of the Army Medical Services in accordance with Article 21 of the International Convention for the Amelioration of the Conditions of the Wounded and Sick in Armies in the Field. These brassards are required to be worn when serving in a theatre of active operations, and in connection with operational exercises when so ordered by a General Officer Commanding.
