Açıklama
"War medals of the British Army, and how they were won" by Thomas Carter is a historical account and reference work written in the late 19th century. It surveys British military decorations—especially campaign medals—and pairs each with concise narratives of the battles and expeditions that earned them, supported by engravings and editorial updates. The focus is the British Army with necessary naval links and extensive East India Company and colonial campaigns. It will appeal to readers interested in military history, honours, and the stories behind battle names on regimental colours.
The opening of the work sets its purpose in a preface: it argues that decorations nourish military virtue, notes Britain’s former reluctance to decorate all ranks, and credits Queen Victoria with broadening medal policy; it then outlines a plan to describe each medal alongside reliable battle accounts and plates. It traces the early lineage of British military medals from Charles I’s forlorn-hope badges
