asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to grant War medals to members of the St. John Ambulance Corps who were called up for War service in 1914, and served in home hospitals during the late European War; or whether it is proposed to recognise in any way the services which these men rendered to their country during the War?

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative. War medals were not granted to anyone for home service except service in coast defence batteries when actually engaged with enemy warships.
