Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Medals of the British Army, and How They Were Won When Napoleon proposed the institution of the Legion of Honour, he was met by the assertion that: "Crosses and ribbons were the pillars of an hereditary throne, and that they were unknown to the Romans, who conquered the world." In his reply to this objection - after showing that Rome rewarded the achievements of her citizens by all kinds of distinctions - he added : " For the soldier, as for all men in active life, you must have glory and distinction; recompenses are the food which nourish military virtue." For many years a similar antagonistic feeling to the granting of Medals to all ranks prevailed in this country, although the propriety of rewarding the victors of a hundred fights with some decoration was warmly advocated by the press, and the result eagerly expected by the veterans who had survived.

Download or read book Medals of the British Navy and how they were won written by WH Long and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain will always be grateful to her Navy for making her an empire, “on which the sun would never set”. It was the British Navy, which time and again, had been solely responsible for routing the forces of the various kingdoms in the world. And it was these acts of heroism by the valiant members of the nautical forces of the British Empire, which deserve more than perhaps just a mere mention. These acts have gone on to win various prestigious medals and other decorative honours. In this book, the author WH Long collates these stories of heroism from the various books and journals, which have long gone out of print. While the stories behind these medals may have been erased from records, they will forever be entrenched in the minds of a grateful British folk. These medals do not merely record an event, but they have a story to tell – a story of valour, courage, determination and patriotism. A must have book for a military enthusiast.
