This second edition of Peter Duckers best-selling British Military
Medals traces the history of medals and gallantry awards from
Elizabethan times to the modern day, and it features an expert
account of their design and production. Campaign and gallantry
medals are a key to understanding - and exploring - British and
imperial military history, and to uncovering the careers and
exploits of individual soldiers. In a series of succinct and
well-organized chapters he explains how medals originated, to whom
they were awarded and how the practice of giving medals has
developed over the centuries. His work is a guide for collectors
and for local and family historians who want to learn how to use
medals to discover the history of military units and the
experiences of individuals who served in them.
