3. Prepared in 1747, but issued in 1751.
4. Napier’s spelling is adhered to.
6. Cf. the Foot Guards.
7. A Certificate has been issued to each man serving in the Coldstreams during the War bearing the statement: “This is to inform the relatives and friends of —— that he has served his King and Country as a soldier, No. —— in the Coldstream Guards, during the Great European War.” The card is decorated with this colour and one of later date. The idea might well be followed by other regiments.
8. Now that the number of battalions has been increased in each regiment it would, perhaps, be more accurate to make the division between Regular Battalions and Territorial Force Battalions.
9. Refer to description of Alexandra, Princess of Wales’s Own (Yorkshire Regiment).
10. The Canadians have not followed this rule, for the reader may see examples of Arabic numerals on the colours decorating Wolfe’s monument in Westminster Abbey.

23. The Royal Canadian Regiment is the only regular unit in the Canadian Forces. It was first raised in December, 1883, for the purpose of instructing the Canadian Militia, and was called the Infantry School Corps. Since then it has been known as the Royal Regiment of Canadian Infantry, then the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry, and later by its present title. In 1894 H.M. Queen Victoria gave her Imperial Cypher V.R.I. as a badge. The Regiment was increased during the South African War by the raising of a 2nd and 3rd Battalion; these were afterwards disbanded. In 1885 the Regiment took part in the suppression of the North West Rebellion under General Middleton at Batoche and Cut-Knife Creek. In 1896 it formed part of the Expedition sent up to police the New Yukon District, where it remained for two years. In 1899–1900, the 2nd Battalion fought in South Africa with the 19th Brigade, doing particularly good service at Paardeburg. In 1905 the establishment was increased, when the Imperial Troops handed over the garrisoning of the fortresses at Halifax and elsewhere to Canadian Troops. In 1914, on the outbreak of war, the Battalion relieved the 2nd Bn. Lincolnshire Regiment at Bermuda, where it remained for eleven months. It landed in France in November, 1915, and took part in the battle of Ypres of June, 1916, Somme, September, 1916, and Vimy, 1917. It particularly distinguished itself on the Somme and Vimy. H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught is Colonel of the Regiment. In 1901, H.R.H. the Duke of Cornwall and York (now H.M. King George V.) presented Colours to the Regiment at Toronto. In 1904, H.E. Lord Minto, Governor-General of Canada, presented at Ottawa a special Banner given by H.M. King Edward VII. for service in South Africa.

This work is a popular account of the medals which have been awarded to the Navy and Army since their introduction in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. There are twelve chapters, which deal in turn with the various classes of medals; fifty-nine illustrations from photographs, depicting the most noteworthy specimens; and four coloured plates with representations of sixty-one medal ribbons and miniatures of ten foreign decorations. The letterpress not only describes the actual medals, but gives data concerning the making of medals, the chief medallists, the regulations which affect the granting of medals, the circumstances which have influenced such awards, etc. Many Colonial medals and ribbons are described, and there is an interesting appendix which deals with the chief Foreign awards, with special reference to those of Our Allies.
