Title
Army Medal Roll Egypt 1801 (CD-Rom) The CD contains: PDF file of scanned images of any pages with information. Spreadsheet with transcriptions of all pages. Transcribed from a leather bound book with all the medal recipients for the Peninsula Campaign 1801 hand written with the name of each Regiment and an alphabetical list of the award winners of medals and bars or bars only; other ranks but no Officers. The columns in the book are headed Rank, Name, Medal and Bar, Bar Only, Remarks and Notes although in the spreadsheet we have added extra columns for ease of reference and explanatory notes. The last page of the book is a list of Medal Sales Of Glendining Co Ltd which date from January 1907 to June 1917 with the auction price achieved and cross referenced with a number against the original award entry. There is a separate loose sheet of paper with auction sale price achieved of four Officer's medals from Egypt 1801. Another loose page with details of auction price achieved for Sergeant Thomas Booth of the 2nd Foot plus notes; this is from Glendinings therefore dates to 1917. A third loose page contemporary with the original entries which appear to be notes made by the original compiler. These notes are for the 26th Afterwards 23rd Light Dragoons. Notes have been added in pencil within the last few years mentioning where the medal is now and auction prices in the 1980s for other medals. The Battles mentioned both in full and abbreviation in the book are: Maida, Corunna, Talavera, Busaco, Fuentes D'Onor, Ciudad, Rodrigo, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Toulouse, Waterloo An example of an entry: Allen Scott of the 79th Foot who was awarded a bar for the Egyptian Peninsula War the note states bars for Pyr Nivelle Waterloo and six others which were sold on the 27th of March 1914 for 11 pounds and 10 shillings according to the Glendining records. Military General Service Medal Instituted in 1847 for the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars fought between 1793 and 1814. Veterans had to claim their medals years after the end of the Napoleonic Wars at a time when many had since died. Some 26,000 medals were issued with 84,000 clasps but many have sadly been destroyed or lost making this medal somewhat rare and sought after. The obverse of this medal is the head of Queen Victoria with the inscription 'VICTORIA REGINA' while the reverse depicts the Queen placing the victor's laurels on the head of the Duke of Wellington with the inscription 'TO THE BRITISH ARMY' and the dates '1793-1814'. The swivelling suspender is plain and straight. The names have been transcribed to the best of our ability although some of the handwriting is difficult to make out, so there are numbered notes against any of which we are unsure included in the spreadsheet Also on the CD is a PDF file of scanned images taken from the book.
