  • 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.

  • The 7Th Royal Fusiliers in the Crimean War with the Medal Roll 1854
    THE 7th ROYAL FUSILIERS IN THE CRIMEAN WAR With THE MEDAL ROLL (As far as could be confirmed) 1854 – 1856 Compiled By J P Kelleher 2013 1854: Nearly forty years had passed since the Royal Fusiliers saw active service, when Russia, seeking in her ambition to overwhelm Turkey, was arrested in her aggression by the united action of England and France. The two Powers declared war against the Czar on the 27th.March 1854, and the British force was sent to south-eastern Europe, under command of Lord Raglan- who as Lord Fitzroy Somerset had earned distinction under Wellington. The Royal Fusiliers, were amongst the first regiments ordered to be brought up to war strength. They were quartered at Manchester, and the North of England was their recruiting ground. During the early spring, the Regiment was raised to full establishment, and drilled into one of the smartest, and most solid battalions in the service. On Tuesday, the 4th.April 1854, the Royal Fusiliers: Headquarters and 8 companies; consisting of 3 Field officers, 8 Captains, 14 Lieutenants, 5 Staff, 46 Sergeants, 15 Drummers, 850 Rank and File, and 25 women – under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Walter Lacy Yea, entrained at Manchester for Southampton, where they embarked the same evening on board the transport „Orinoco‟. After touching at Gibralter and Malta, the transport disembarked her troops at Scutari, on the 22nd. Here the regiment was brigaded with the 23rd and 33rd. Foot, under Brigadier General Richard Airey. Airey‟s Brigade, with the 19th, 77th, 88th. and 2nd Rifle Brigade, formed the Light Division, commanded by Lord George Brown.

  • Virtual Museum Private William Burridge
    Private William Burridge 2nd battalion, 73rd regiment of foot under Captain H.B. Lynch Many Regiments have their own prayer, called a Collect. The Collect of The Black Watch is said during services involving the Black Watch Regimental family. The Regimental Collect O God, whose strength setteth fast the mountains, Lord of the hills to whom we lift our eyes: grant us grace that we, of The Black Watch, once chosen to watch the mountains of an earthly kingdom, may stand fast in the faith and be strong, until we come to the heavenly Kingdom of Him, who has bidden us watch and pray. Thy Son, our Saviour and Lord. Amen http://www.theblackwatch.co.uk/index/customs_traditions MacLeod tartan, also known as the MacLeod of Harris tartan, is a variation on the Black Watch tartan. The tartan was adopted by Maj- Gen. John (Mackenzie), Lord Macleod on the raising of the 73rd in 1777. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/73rd _(Perthshire)_Regiment_of_Foot Waterloo medal • The Waterloo medal was the first ever “campaign medal” issued by the British Army, given to every soldier regardless of their rank or role. It was awarded to all soldiers present at the Battle of Waterloo and the actions during the two previous days. • Before Waterloo, medals were reserved either for high-ranking officers, or to reward particular acts of bravery. British successes during the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal were marked by giving British Generals large crosses made from solid gold. The idea of giving common soldiers a medal simply to mark their service was unknown, even bizarre.

Cast and chased, as £1,650 €1,980 usual, fitted with a small silver ring for suspension, 55mm diameter, excluding ring suspender, weight 59.6g. Very Fine. This rare medal was issued by the Legislative Assembly of the island of Saint Vincent in the Carribean to members of the island's militia and local volunteeers who took part in the campaign against the local native population, after the Caribs had been encouraged to rebel against the British settlers by French settlers on the island. Fighting broke out initially in 1769, when the Carib population, led by Chief Joseph Chatoyer defended the windward side of the island against a British military survey expedition in 1769. Intermittent fighting erupted into a full-blown military campaign in 1772, which the Caribs also successfully resisted. The fighting prompted an enquiry in London which resulted in orders being issued for the ending of the campaign. A peace agreement was signed in 1773, partitioning the island, with the Caribs retaining the windward side of the island and the British settlers the leeward side.
