    The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No

    The Journal of the Orders and Medals SocieW of America The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No. 5577 ing George V, on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar, Kintroduced the India Title Badge on 12 December 1911 to be conferred, as a symbol of honor and respect, on the holders of a title conferred by the King-Emperor. The Badge was a step-award in three classes given to civilians and Viceroy’s commissioned officers of the Indian Army for faithful service or acts of public welfare. Awards of the Badge began in January 1912. In many ways, the Badge is a cross between the Imperial Service Medal and the Kaisar-I-Hind. As with the Imperial Service Medal (ISM), it was awarded for long and faithful service to members of the civil and provincial services. Unlike the ISM it was also awarded to members of the military as well as to civilians not in the civil service. It was similar to the Kaisar-I-Hind in that there were three classes to the award as well as being awarded for service in India. Unlike the Kaisar-I- Hind, its award was restricted to non-Europeans. Unlike either of these awards, the India Title Badge also provided a specific title in the form of a personal distinction to the recipient. Specifics regarding the titles will be provided below. It is interesting to note that a title granted with the 1st India Title Badge, Class III- obverse Class of the Badge is identical to that granted to recipients of the Order of British India 1 st Class, Sardar Bahadur.

    (CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War

    h ps://doi.org/10.22584/nr44.2017.009 CollecƟ ng Canadian ExpediƟ onary Force (CEF) Badges and Medals Related to the Yukon During the First World War Timothy J. Popp Independent Historian Abstract: I have been collec ng Canadian militaria since the early 1970s. I now believe I have collected every known military badge associated with Yukon Territory military units. These include the Yukon Field Force (1898); the Dawson Rifl es of Canada (1900); Boyle’s Yukon Machine Gun Detachment (1914)—whose regimental badge was created by Jacoby Brothers in Vancouver; the Yukon Motor Machine Gun Ba ery (1915)—whose badges were created in England by Gaunt and Sons of London; the Yukon Infantry Company (1916)—whose unique badges were created by Jacoby and included a miniature miner’s gold pan complete with a gold nugget at the base of the pan; the Pacifi c Coast Mili a Rangers (1942); and the Yukon Regiment (1962). In my collec on I also have examples of all medals that were awarded to Yukon residents. This ar cle presents an overview of the badges worn on the uniforms of the military units that were raised in the Yukon for service with the Canadian Expedi onary Force. These badges are considered very rare to military CEF collectors, and seldom off ered through an auc on. The second part of the ar cle covers the medals awarded to Yukon men who served in these units and, in par cular, the many awards bestowed on Lt. Col. Joe Boyle. Military memorabilia is very important in the remembrance of the soldiers who represented the Yukon during the First World War.

  • Gunrunning to Mexico; a Four-Part Series

    Gunrunning to Mexico; a Four-Part Series

    Gunrunning to Mexico; a four-part series These stories document Mexico’s black market hunger for American guns. The hidden cross-border trade is hardly a new phenomenon and for decades has occupied a back burner in the national policies of both countries. But with Mexico’s drug war body count surpassing 6,000 in a single year, 2008, a figure that almost flatters the number of American dead in Iraq, the weapons smuggling issue has been suddenly thrust to the top of Mexico’s policy agenda. That reality holds important implications for American taxpayers and legislators as Mexico presses the U.S. for action. While drugs flow north, much to American consternation, American guns are in turn flowing south, powering a literal civil war pitting Mexican drug syndicates against one another and the state. To bring clarity to this gathering foreign policy issue, Express-News reporter Todd Bensman, with photographer Jerry Lara, traveled extensively on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border. Bensman examined hundreds of court records, and interviewed federal police, diplomats and government officials in Mexico and the U.S. He interviewed a former cartel assassin, gun store owners and convicted felons in the trade.
