BRITISH CAMPAIGNS AND MEDALS , ( Hints fo r Beginners, Pa r t 2)

By V. G. Potter I n a previous a r t i c l e I described

how t o s tar t a co l lec t ion of medals, and what p i t f a l l s t o avoid.

I n order t o f u l l y enjoy a medal col lec t ion, i t i s necessary t o have as nuch information as p o s s i b l ~ on the part- i c u l a r s e r i e s of nedals o r canpaigns i n which you are in teres ted .

This brings forward the question of books; these are indispensible t o any ser ious co l lec tor , whether of coins , stanps o r modals. Unfortunately many co l l ec to r s with hundreds of d o l l a r s worth of mater ia l have hardly any worthwhile I books on t h e i r hobby.

For a co l lec tor of B r i t i s h medals, I would recommend the following exce l len t ' books: "Br i t i sh B a t t l e s and Medals" by Major L.L. Go~don, "RibSons and Medalstt by Dorling and Guil le and "The Standard Catalogue of B r i t i s h Orders, Decor a t ions and Medalst1 by E. C. Jos l in . For collec- t o r s of nedals t o Canadians, I would highly recornend ''War Medals and Decorations of Canada1 by Ross id. Irwin.

Major Gordonts book i s the standard work f o r canpaign medals as it l i s t s d.1 reginents which were e n t i t l e d t o any part- i c u l a r nedal or bar, plus type of o f f i c i a l naming, and a resume of the cmpaign. Dorling Is books a lso g&ve Orders of Chivalry, Decorations, Long Service Medals and For- e ign awards, For the co l lec tor of medals of a pa r t i cu l a r s e r i e s , such as the Mil i tary General Service Medal 1733 - 1814 a medal r o l l i s invaluable. T h i s i s a l i s t contain- ing the name of every person awarded the medal and which bars he received. !€he l i s t i s made up by regiment, so t h a t t o check a medal, a l l t h a t i s required i s t o look up the regiment and check i n the a lphabet ica l ly arranged l i s t fo r the name and in i . t ia ls .

Page .42 Sone regiments have r o l l s containing n m e s of the nenbers who re- ceived raedals f o r any of the caupaigns the regiment served in, T h i s i s of g rea t value t o the person who co l l ec t s t o one regiment only,

For those who are i n t e r e s t ed i n the d e t a i l s of the cmpaigns and b a t t l e s , the re i s now available a r e p r i n t of !'War Medals of the B r i t i s h A r ~ y 16 50 - 183111 by T. Carter W. H. Long, Also of value are regimental h i s t o r i e s , m y l i s t s , orders and dispatches.

Once one has decided t o c o l l e c t nedals, i t i s inpor tan t t o have a r e l i a b l e source of supply; as there c e f a r fewer dea le rs I n nedals than there are f o r s t m p s and coins, I have added a l i s t of dea le rs t h a t I have d e a l t with and can recornend, (See Later on).

Another sor;r ce of supply i s a medal club, as members of ten have i t e n s fo r t rade or sa le . I n addit ion the beginner w i l l receive much help and advice on the hobby from raore experienced co l lec tors , Some col3ectors are only i n t e r e s t ed i n s ingle nedals, wh i l s t o thers prefer groups,

The advantages and disadvantages of the above are as follows: a s ing le nedal i s i d e a l i f the co l lec t ion i s the type where one example of each nedal or b m i s required and where the e x t r a ~ e d a l s i n a group are redundant. Few co l l ec to r s l i k e t o break up a group as this spo i l s the nan's record of service. To the co l lec tor who l i k e s t o study the person who won the awards the group i s nore in te res t ing .

Typical groups, i n my col lec t ion, which have i n t e r e s t i n g s t o r i e s are, 5 t o Captain E. Atkin, O.B.E., ROAD These are o f f i c e o f t t he Order of the B r i t i s h Ehpire, Queens South Africa with 6 bars CSgt.). B r i t i s h W a r & Victory raedals (Capt,) & Long Service & Good Conduct (C.S.M.) . E, Atkin joined the Royal Ar t i l l e ry a t . 14 years of age, Pronoted by Lord Kitchener from Corporal t o Sergeant f o r bravery i n 1901, promoted t o 2nd Lieutenant in-1915 and capta in i n 1917 a d awarded the 0.B.E. i n 1913 fo r his services i n World War 1.

Another group i s of 5 t o Colonel A.H.S. Goff, C.M,G., R,A. This cons i s t s of the Queens South Africa Medal with 3 bars , (Major), the 1914 Star and Bar (Lt. Col.), B r i t i s h War Medal & Victory nedal (Col.) and Queen Vic tor ia ' s Jubi lee nedal of 1897 apt,) . Col. Goff served with the llContenptible L i t t l e Array1! of 1914 and was under f i r e i n the ea r ly b a t t l e s of World War 1, He was the owner of StanderwichCourt and was e n t i t l e d t o bear the Coat of Arras of "Goff of H a l e Parkt Han t s lT . T>.sse arns were taken from the f ani ly i n 1660 and no t res to r - ed u n t i l 1820. Col. Goff was a d i r e c t descendent of Maj . Gen, W i l l i a n Goffe who served under Cromwell and was one of the trial judges of King Charles 1 and who signed his death warrant and i t w a s f o r this reason t h a t the Coat of Arns was f o r f e i t .

s ingly. T h i s i s because t h e nore cowmon medals a r e thrown i n by t h e d e a l e r as they would n o t s e l l so r e a d i l y by themselves. Therefore, when buying a group f o r a couple of i n t e r e s t i n g lredals i t i s neces- sa ry t o t ake comon medals which one nay already have,

Whenever I purchase a n e d d I always c lean (not pol i sh) it with soapy water o r s i l v e r d ip , and put a c lean rabbon on it. A d i r t y or t a rn i shed n e d d wi th an old r ibbon looks uns igh t ly and very few old s o l d i e r s would be seen dead v i t h t h e i r medals i n such condit ion,

When medals are mounted i n groups it i s important t o place -then i n t h e c o r r e c t sequence, Generally t h i s i s Orders, Decorations, Medals f o r Bravo:-7, Campaign medals i n d a t e order , c o m e ~ o r a t i v e neda l s (such as coronat ions) , long se rv ice nedals and f o r e i g n awards.

Most d e a l e r s i n nedals can supply new ribbons a t about .log per inch; 5 inches being needed f o r each nedal. Dealers i n nedals " a r e :-' A. Hi Baldwin and sons I t d o , 11 Adelphi Terrace, London S.W,I.,
