I can confirm that my Department is currently examining an application for the posthumous award of a 1916 medal in respect of a veteran of the same name as that referred to by the Deputy.

A decision has not yet been made in this case as research is ongoing in relation to the identity and military service of the individual in question. I am advised that a decision is expected to be made in the near future.
