WAR MEDALS AVAILABLE
Owing to the large proportion of fictitious claims that have been made in the past the War Office has been reluctant to announce that those who qualified for medals in the Great War are still entitled to apply for them. Each application involves careful search in the records for confirmation of the details of active service, and the staff available is limited.
It comes as a surprise to read that since the war for which these medals were awarded no fewer than 23 medals hAve been given for, campaigns in different parts of the world. These, however, have been dealt with as the occasion arose, and-owing to the relatively small number who qualified, and the fact that they were still in the service, no difficulty has arisen in their distribution.
