We had pleasure in our last issue in reporting a record parade for the presentation of medals for long service and good conduct, this taking place in the Army Service Corps, when fourteen members of that Corps were so decorated. Now we have pleasure in placing on record an even more remarkable record, which the members of the Military Police have achieved for no fewer than 20 non-commissioned officers of that corps at one time. The record is the more remarkable from the fact that the whole strength of the Corps is no more than 500, of whom a good proportion are already in possession of the same devotion. The following are the names of those who have been the latest recipients of the medal :- Sergeant J Cook, 367, Sergeant. C H Dale, 377, Sergeant A Burrill, 407, Sergeant E Baldwin, 414, Sergeant F West, 419, Corporal J Savage, 368, Lance Corporal H W Freeman, 501, Lance Corporal W Thorndyke, 522, Lance Corporal J H Salter, 633, Lance Corporal J Finch, 629, Military Mounted Police; Sergeant W Barrett,494, Sergeant W Howard, 501, Sergeant W Vernon, 502, Sergeant W Weaver, 503, Sergeant J Alder, 529 and Sergeant E A Siddle, 597, Corporal A E Alliston, 596, Lance Corporal H E Richardson, 861, Lance Corporal R L Handley, 675, Lancer Corporal A H Downton, 990, Military Foot Police.
