Much reworked over the years this new 7th edition has been completely rewritten, the mastermind behind this is none other than the most respected name in medal dealing John B. Hayward, who's magnificent photographic archive has at long last been made good use of in this publication

This is the 7th best & latest edition of a book that is long established as the standard work of reference on British campaign medals

FULLY REVISED edition, with a wealth of new material = puts previous editions into the shade

Collectors the world over who are familiar with the previous editions of Major Gordon's much loved work will be pleased to note that the basic, chronological, format of the original 1947 edition, has been retained

Though greatly enlarged & revised over the last 60 years, this sensible format has stood the test of time & has been the model for all subsequent general books on medals

The 7th 2008 edition has not only taken the campaign medal section up to date, but also added more numismatic information, especially for earliest awards

Lists & numbers of Ships, Regiments & Units present have been revised where necessary, including the addition of many so-called 'odd men'

There is more information, as well as new illustrations, on the various styles of naming, both official & contemporary unofficial styles, & clasps

The numerous appendices have, for the 1st time, gathered together in the most accessible form a wealth of reference material with lists & rolls covering the most celebrated actions of British Naval & Military history

Complete lists of recipients of Navy & Army Gold Medals & Crosses, recipients of the various British & foreign awards for the Crimea War

Nominal rolls such actions as the Charge of the Light Brigade, the Defence of Lucknow, famous actions at Rorke's Drift & Maiwand, the last charge of a British cavalry Regiment at Omdurman, the Defence of Legations at Pekin in 1900 & those involved in the Yangtze incident of 1949.
