THE WAR MEDALS.
OPINION OF THE TIMES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, June 13. Amongst those who received medals were Major-General Hutton, General Pole-Carew, and a number of Australian officers.
His Majesty the King looked hale and hearty. Tho Times says a significant event lay in the attitude of the spectators, showing that the King never more faithfully reflected the wishes of his people than by honoring with his ‘ onto hand the soldiers who had shed their blood to cement the unity of the Empire. This also applies equally to the medal bestowed on Lond Milner, whom the paper describes as a Statesman instinctively identified both by the people and our enemies with the Imperial policy, in South Africa. The Times points out thatTEe bestowal of the medal on Lord Milner is strictly in accordance with precedents of the city’s presentation of medals to Lord Canning after;; the suppression of the Indian Mutiny, to Lord Elgin at the conclusion of the China War, and to the Marquis of Dufferin after the conquest of Burmah.
