HC Deb 05 June 1951 vol 488 c92W
84. Mr. Bellenger

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Army Council to recognise the gallantry of the Gloucester Regimen; in Korea in a specialised form.

Mr. Strachey

It is not the custom in the British Army to make immediate awards of battle honours to units in the field. Awards to commemorate citations made by Allied commanders may be considered, however, during the campaign. A copy of the official citation has now been received and the question of an award to the two units concerned to commemorate the citation is now under consideration.
