HM Stationary Office, London, 1921, Section XIII A NEW SRV COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL Edward J. Emering, OMSA #6135 The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has issued a new "official" of gilt hands in manacles against a light blue background commemorative decoration to honor its revolutionary soldiers surrounded by laurel branches. The red-enameled inscription (Cach Mang Chien Si Ghi Cong) who were held as prisoners on the medal reads Ky Niem Chuong (Commemorative of war during their various modern wars (France, U.S., Decoration) above and Chien Si Cach Mang Bi Dich Bat Tu Cambodia, and China). It is the SRV’s 34th official medal, Day (Revolutionary Soldier Captured by the Enemy)(below). and the second "official" commemorative medal. (The Fatherland Commemorative [Ky Niem Chuong To Quoc] was instituted on 26 January 1946 to honor those who served in the August 1945 Revolution.) The lightweight aluminum POW decoration, issued in a single class, is suspended from a 1 inch red cloth hero- style bar. The pendant is circular in shape with a diameter of 1¼ inches. The gilt pendant features a pair 19 The Journal of the Orders and Medals Society of America The award of this official medal to former POWs is accompanied by a highly stylized award document with the SRV’s official seal at the top and the signature of its Premier at the time, Vo Van Kiet. Vo Van Kiet (code name Sau Dan) was the head of the Communist Party for Saigon, Cholon, and Gia Dinh during both the French and American Wars, and is one of the few southerners to have risen to senior political rank following the Se- cond Indochina War. The award document ex-ample pictured was awar-ded to Le Tat Dac and is dated 28 March 1996. One should not overlook several important aspects of this medal. It is only the second official medal issued since the mid-80s. In a still rare Heroic Mother Decoration (Anh Hung Ba Me Viet country that seems to be issuing new medals every other day, Nam - see JOMSA, Volume 48, Number 2, March 1997). the status "official" is applied to a relatively small sample.

Livingston earned the A. B. degree at Amherst College in 1904, continuing his work in Romance languages at Columbia University, where he received the Ph. D. in 1911. His teaching positions included an instructorship in Italian at Smith College (1908-1909), an associate professorship in Italian at Cornell University, where Livingston also supervised the Petrarch Catalogue (1910-1911), and an associate professorship in Romance Languages at Columbia University (1911-1917). Among the various honors bestowed upon Livingston were membership in Phi Beta Kappa and the Venetian academic society, the Reale deputazione veneta di storia patria; he was also decorated as a Cavalier of the Crown of Italy. Livingston's desire to disseminate the work of leading European writers and thinkers in the United States led him to an editorship with the Foreign Press Bureau of the Committee on Public Information during World War I. When the war ended, Livingston, in partnership with Paul Kennaday and Ernest Poole, continued his efforts on behalf of foreign literature by founding the Foreign Press Service, an agency that represented foreign authors in English-language markets.
