  • Of Saxony's Decorations and Medals, Perhaps the Most Important
    This book is the third volume in his series on the aviation awards of Imperial Germany during World War I, and like the two previous volumes (Bavaria and Prussia) is superb in all respects. Volume III explores the awards of the Kingdom of Saxony, a region that had long been embroiled in conflict and turmoil, and whose capital city (Dresden) was to become the site of the most fearsome bombing raids of World War I1. Of Saxony’s decorations and medals, perhaps the most important was the Military Order of St. Henry, which was founded on October 7, 1736 by Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. It predates many of the other pre- eminent German orders, including Prussia’s Pour le Merite (1740) and Bavaria’s Military Order of max Joseph (1797). It was originally instituted in one class for award to officers of the Royal saxon Army, but was later enlarged to three classes in 1768 (Grand Cross, Commander, and Knight). The Commander grade was divided into a First and Second class in 1829. During the First World War 2,717 awards of the order were made, of which 107 went to aviators. The lion’s share of O’Connor’s book is the chapter that discusses this order, which provides a wealth of information on the order itself and includes the citations of all 107 aviation recipients. Like the book as a whole, this chapter is liberally illustrated with photos of the recipients, their awards,and their aircraft. The other principal Saxon awards are also covered.

  • The 1914-15 Star the British War Medal, 1914-18
    The text is copied from http://www.greatwar.co.uk/medals/ww1-campaign-medals.htm The 1914-15 Star Established in December 1918. Also known as 'Pip'. This bronze medal was authorized in 1918. It is very similar to the 1914 Star but it was issued to a much wider range of recipients. Broadly speaking it was awarded to all who served in any theatre of war against Germany between 5th August 1914 and 31st December 1915, except those eligible for the 1914 Star. Similarly, those who received the Africa General Service Medal or the Sudan 1910 Medal were not eligible for the award. Like the 1914 Star, the 1914-15 Star was not awarded alone. The recipient had to have received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. The reverse is plain with the recipient's service number, rank, name and unit impressed on it. An estimated 2.4 million of these medals were issued. The British War Medal, 1914-18 Established on 26th July 1919. Also known as 'Squeak'. The silver or bronze medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or entered service overseas between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918 inclusive. This was later extended to services in Russia, Siberia and some other areas in 1919 and 1920. Approximately 6.5 million British War Medals were issued. Approximately 6.4 million of these were the silver versions of this medal. Around 110,000 of a bronze version were issued mainly to Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

    Chapter 23 07 September 2017 WORLD WAR TWO STARS Page 02 Description of the WWI Stars 03 1939/1945 Star 06 Atlantic Star 08 Arctic Star 11 Aircrew Europe Star 12 Africa Star 13 Pacific Star 14 Burma Star 15 Italy Star 16 France and Germany Star 1 WORLD WAR TWO STARS TERMS Described for each individual star. To award a star, a period of one month was deemed to be 30 days. Service curtailed by death, or disability due to service, also qualified for the award. A recipient of a decoration, Mention-in-Despatches or a King's Commendation, qualified for the award irrespective of the length of service. Service spent in qualifying for one star could not run concurrently with service qualifying for another. Prisoner-of-War time could count towards the 1939-45 Star but it would not count towards the earning of other stars unless the 1939-45 Star qualifying time had been completed before capture. No more than five stars could be awarded to any individual. BARS All of the stars had bars except the Italy Star. The bars represent either a special service connected with that star (such as the Battle of Britain with the 1939-45 Star) or denote that the person qualified for the award of another specific star after the award of the first star. Only one bar per medal is worn. DESCRIPTION A six pointed tombac (a yellow copper-zinc alloy) star, 45-mm across the points. OBVERSE The Royal and Imperial Cypher (GRI with VI below) appears in the centre of the obverse.
