§ Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give further details of the action of Sergeant Powell, of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, who jumped into a flooded river and saved the lives of soldiers who got into difficulties, and of the life-saving action of Private Sidney Ashley, a Lancashire Home Guard; and whether these men have received any official recognition of their action?
§ Sir J. GriggI am inquiring into these cases and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
