THERE appears to be deep and widespread dissatisfaction among the troops concerned at the way the Burma medal has been distributed. Truth refers to the scandal thus :---I mentioned this matter in May last, with special reference to the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry ; but the grievance is not confined to that regiment, and a great many growin have since reached ma on the subject. One corps in which the feeling seems specially strong is the 1st Battalion 60th Rides, who have since taken part in the Chitral Expedition. Numbers of men in this battalion served in the Chin Hill expedition of 1891-2, and had a very rough time of it ; but they have been passed over, while others who served side by side with them have been decorated. Distinctions of this kind' tend to deprive decora tons of all value, and there ought to be some further inquiry into the claims of the various troops who served in Barms to this particular *medal,
