THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY. VOL. LI. 1927. No. 2. INDIAN AND MILITARY MEDALS FROM COLONIAL TIMES TO DATE BY HARROLD E. GILLINGHAM.* "What is a ribbon worth to a soldier? Everything! Glory is priceless!" Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart. The nature of man is to demand preferences and distinction. It is uncertain who first instituted the custom of granting medals to individuals for acts of bravery or for military services. Scipio Aemilius is said to have bestowed wreaths of roses upon his men of the eleventh Legion at Carthage in 146 B. C., and the Chinese are reported to have issued awards during the Han Dynasty in the year 10 A. D., though no de- scription thereof is given. Tancred says there used to be in the National Coin Collection of France, a gold medal of the Roman Emperor Tetricus, with loops at- tached, which made it appear as if it was an ornament to wear. Perhaps the Donum Militare, and bestowed for distinguished services. We do know that Queen Elizabeth granted a jewelled star and badge to Sir Francis Drake after his famous globe encircling voy- age (1577-1579), and Tancred says these precious relics were at the Drake family homestead, "Nutwell * Address delivered before the Society, January 10, 1927 and at the meeting of The Numismatic and Antiquarian Society February 15, 1926. -

MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT June 2018 A message from the President Greetings, Summer arrived in Sebring. It has been very hot (high 80s, low 90s) the last couple of weeks. June also is start of the rainy and hurricane seasons in Florida and we have been receiving almost daily showers since late May. Hopefully our Northern members are enjoying cooler and drier air. So far this year we have had close to 600 visitors, hopefully headed for a record number of visitors for the year. Summer normally brings a decline in the number of visitors. This is a great time for visits from Scouts and other groups----can pretty much have the Museum to John Cecil themselves. Just let us know in advance when your group wants to visit (863) 385-0992 or [email protected]. We received many favorable comments on our Memorial Day observance. It was held in front of the Museum with attendees seated under a large tent. Towards the end of the observance, it began to rain and all attendees came inside the Museum where the observance was concluded. This also worked out well as we had a cake cutting ceremony planned inside to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Museum which opened its doors as the Military Sea Services Museum on Memorial Day 1998. See additional comments and photos elsewhere in this "Scuttlebutt." Photos were provided by Fred Carino, Cris Carino, Diana Borders and Donald Laylock. Have a great summer. Stay safe! John Military Sea Services Museum Hours of Operation 1402 Roseland Avenue, Sebring, Open: Wednesday through Saturday Florida, 33870 Phone: (863) 385-0992 Noon to 4:00 p.m. -
Cold War Allies: Commonwealth and United States Naval Cooperation in Asian Waters Edward J
Cold War Allies: Commonwealth and United States Naval Cooperation in Asian Waters Edward J. Marolda L’interaction entre les gouvernements canadiens, australiens, des États- Unis et du Royaume-Uni au cours de la guerre froide en Asie a été le plus souvent caractérisée par un désaccord sur les objectifs et la politique des États-Unis. Tel n’était pas le cas, cependant, avec l’expérience opérationnelle des marines de ces pays. En effet, les liens tissés entre les chefs des marines et des commandants de combat pendant les guerres de Corée et du Viêtnam ainsi que l’effort pour ramener la stabilité en Extrême-Orient, ont eu un impact positif sur la solidarité alliée et sur les mesures de sécurité collectives à la fin du 20ème et au 21ème siècles. Ce document traite de la nature de la relation opérationnelle entre les quatre marines dans la guerre de Corée; des actions navales américaines, britanniques et australiennes dans la gestion des conflits en Asie du Sud- Est au cours des années 50 et 60; l’expérience sous feu de la Marine royale australienne et la Marine américaine; et l’interaction vers la fin de la guerre froide pour faire face à la la présence et la montée en puissance de la marine soviétique dans les eaux asiatiques. The navies of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand operated side by side with the navy of the United States throughout much of the Cold War in Asia. Despite often contentious policy disagreements between Washington and Commonwealth capitals, their navies functioned at high levels of coordination, interoperability, and efficiency. -

Medals of the Spanish and Philippine War Era
Medals of the Spanish and Philippine War Era By Gary Robbins Surnames included: Lawton, Robbins You’ve finally gone to visit your cousin after her parents died. She leads you up the steep stairs to the attic to show you some cool stuff and you spot a dusty old trunk that once belonged to Great Uncle Frank. You think “Ah ha!”. You dash across the creaking floor, open the clasp and slowly squeak it open. Inside, you spot a folded uniform on the left and some strange medals protruding from a yellowed envelope on the right. You’ve never seen these before so you hold them up to the light and think, “What’s this all about?” In the late 19th and early 20th century, a combination of US patriotism, civic pride, social need and increasing leisure time created an environment ripe for fraternal organizations. The Western frontier closed and Americans settled into more stable lives. Acts of valor, previously felt to be an ordinary part of life, became extraordinary, rare and elevated to heights above more mundane accomplishments of modern civilization. Many organizations and societies came into existence and fulfilled the needs of many Americans to associate with others of similar interests and experiences. Some were simply social such as Elks, or civic such as Rotary, while others centered around patriotism and military service such as the DAR and VFW. Some of these organizations arose out of the Civil War but many more arose out of the Spanish War era (1898-1902). Many of these organizations were self-aggrandizing and bestowed esoteric titles, roles, honors, prizes and awards. -
