§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether permission can be granted to serving Channel Islanders to wear nomenclature on the shoulder in order that contact here can be made with fellow-countrymen?
§ Sir J. GriggI regret that it would not be practicable to adopt this proposal, since, as explained in answer to a similar Question on 21st May by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Londonderry (Sir R. Ross), of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy, it would cut across the existing system of badges for units from all parts of the United Kingdom. Permission has, however, been given for the nth Battalion, The Hampshire Regiment, in which many Channel Islanders are serving, to wear the cap badge and buttons of the Jersey Militia.
