Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medals of the British Army, and How They Were Won: The Crimean Campaign Since the several orders of knighthood have had their histo rians, it occurred to me that as no general account of the Medals of the British Army had been attempted, a work which should afford a clear insight into the circumstances under which these honours were conferred, would be likely to be received with favour by the public, when accompanied by coloured fac-similes of the several medals and ribbons, and interspersed with regimental and individual acts of heroism, together with military statistics of an interesting character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medals and Decorations of the British Army and Navy, Vol. 2 The fact that the naval and military forces of the Crown which had taken part in the Peninsula War, and in contemporaneous operations in other parts of the world, had not generally received any decoration commemorative of their services, whilst all the army which fought at Waterloo had received a medal, appears to have given rise to a feeling of dissatisfaction which, although it did not become the subject of official discussion, was for many years ventilated in military circles and in the press.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medals and Decorations of the British Army and Navy, Vol. 1 Full-size facsimile illustrations of most of the decorations are given. A photographic process has been adopted in the earlier cases, and there was no occasion in regard to many of them, examples of which in various metals are extant, to indicate in colours any particular metals. Moreover, as in the early days possessors of medals probably did very much as they pleased in respect to mountings and ribbons, there was no necessity to indicate what, after all, might only have been done in a single instance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Medals of the British Army, and How They Were Won When Napoleon proposed the institution of the Legion of Honour, he was met by the assertion that: "Crosses and ribbons were the pillars of an hereditary throne, and that they were unknown to the Romans, who conquered the world." In his reply to this objection - after showing that Rome rewarded the achievements of her citizens by all kinds of distinctions - he added : " For the soldier, as for all men in active life, you must have glory and distinction; recompenses are the food which nourish military virtue." For many years a similar antagonistic feeling to the granting of Medals to all ranks prevailed in this country, although the propriety of rewarding the victors of a hundred fights with some decoration was warmly advocated by the press, and the result eagerly expected by the veterans who had survived.

Download or read book War Medals and Decorations Issued to the British Military and Naval Forces and Allies 1588 to 1910 Classic Reprint written by D. Hastings Irwin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Medals and Decorations Issued to the British Military and Naval Forces and Allies 1588 to 1910 Of late years collecting War Medals has become a very popular hobby in this country, and seems likely to rival in popularity the formation of collections of coins. No doubt one reason for this is the very fine appearance presented by the medals when decked with their proper ribbons, and also the fact that almost every medal recalls some act of gallantry performed during the campaign for which it was issued. Hitherto the standard work on the subject has been Gibson's "British Military and Naval Medals," an excellent work, and one which contains much valuable information. It only, however, touches on medals down to 1877, since when many additions to our campaign medals have been made. Previous to this work, Carter's ''Medals of the British Army" was the chief book on the subject, but it only treated on medals down to the China War, in 1860, and is more of a military history than a collector's vade-mecum.
