THE VICTORIA CROSS
HOLDERS’ RIGHT TO SELL. (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) London, December 4. The Minister for War, Mr Tom Shaw, in answer to a question in the House of Commons, said he doubted the desirability of illegalizing the sale of the Victoria Cross. The Army Act forbade the sale of decorations and medals to unauthorized persons. This did not prevent bona fide sales to collectors. Mr E. Thurtle (Labour) : Is not a man who earns a decoration entitled to do what he likes with it? There was no answer.
