THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 14, 1919.
INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE SUBMISSION OF CLAIMS, &c., IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
(a.) All applications should be made on the forms which are provided at Mercantile Marine Offices and at the Offices of Pilotage and Lighthouse Authorities. If, however, an applicant is unable to attend at any such Office, a written request may be sent to the Marine Department, Board of Trade, London, for an application form.
(b.) Officers, men and women who have served during part of the war in the Royal Navy, R.N.R., or under special Naval Engagements (i.e., Form T 124 and its variants), in the Army, or in the Royal Air Force, have in many cases performed service during some other part of the War which would entitle them to the Mercantile Marine War Medal. Such officers, men and women will be awarded the Mercantile Marine War Medal if their claims are approved, apart from any further medal which they may be awarded under the regulations of the Admiralty, War Office, or Air Ministry.
(c.) Qualifying service will in all cases be service at sea, and not service in harbours, rivers, or other inland waters.
(d.) Legatees or next-of-kin of deceased officers, men and women, will not be entitled to participate in the preliminary distribution of medal ribands, but must await the distri- bution of the medals, to which the usual quantity of riband will be attached.
(e.) The Board of Trade will be the sole judge as to whether applicants are qualified, under the terms of the foregoing announcement, for any, and if so for which, of the medals referred to.
The preliminary issue to any applicant of medal riband cannot by itself entitle the applicant to the subsequent award of the corresponding medal.
