WAR MEDALS
Snt,—It may interest your readers to know, in connection with Mr. Walker- Smith's comment on the Adjournment debate on December 1st, that the British Legion (of which Sir Ian Fraser is president) has been asked to make more generally known some of the facts contained in the reply of the Under-Secretary of State for Air to Sir Ian's question on the delay in issuing war medals. Apparently many thousands of ex-Service men and women who have been granted individual awards have not received their medals because the latter have been sent to out-of-date addresses. Winners of such awards who have not yet received their medals should send their correct addresses to the Admiralty, War Office or Air Ministry, according to their service. This applies to all individual awards, except to D.F.C.s gazetted after the beginning of 1944, the distribution of which is held up owing to production delays.—Yours faithfully,
J. C. ANDREWS (Press and Publicity Officer).
