HERE is not that I am aware of any work containing .e., a description of The Orders of Chivalry, and War- * Medals, in connection with Heraldry. I therefore propose in this volume to give a description of The Orders of Chivalry, War-Medals and Crosses with their Clasps and Ribbons, as well as Medals for Saving Life etc.; and by means of suitable Illustrations to show the correct method of bearing them with the Armorial Achievements. No British subject is allowed to wear the Insignia #% of any Foreign Order, without first obtaining His g & Sovereign’s permission, and having the same duly re- gistered in the College of Arms, which however does not confer the privilege of assuming the title of a Knight. Up to the year 1812 the acceptance of a Foreign Order, with the consent of the British Sovereign, gave a title to the appellation of “SIR,” and to the rank and other privileges of a Knight Bachelor of these realms. Application for permission to accept and wear Foreign Orders and Medals should be addressed to the Commander-in-Chief, or the Lords of the Admiralty, as the case may be, who if they see fit, may submit the same for Her Majesty's sanction. No permission is necessary for accepting a Foreign Medal, if such is not to be worn. The first Medal issued to officers and men, of which any authentic record exists, is Cromwell's Dunbar-Medal; the first Military Medal given by an English Sovereign to both officers and men is that for Waterloo, and the first Naval Medal given to both officers and men that for La Hogue. The first Medal suspended from a ribbon, given to be worn on public occasions, was voted and awarded to the Militia Volunteers of the Island of St. Vincent, by General Young and the Legislative Assembly, for suppressing the Insurrection of the Caribbean Indians, who were compelled to submit to His Majesty's forces on the 20th. February 1773. See Carib War-Medal. The first Royal Licence on record, to enable a British subject to accept a Foreign Order, is dated the 16th. July 1789, and was granted to Samuel Bentham Esquire, to accept and wear the Insignia of the Order of St. George of Russia. A Medal in the sense which it has now usually acquired, is a piece of metal stamped with some figure or device, and is employed to preserve the memory of an illustrious action or event. The principal face, on which is generally placed the head of the Sovereign, is called the OBVERSE ; the opposite side, which generally has a device, being known as the REVERSE. The whole surface is called the FIELD ; words or letters on the field are called the INSCRIPTION ; the letters which run round the margin of the medal, the LEGEND or MOTTO ; the part divided off at the bottom is called the ExERGUE ; and a cipher formed of letters interlaced is called a MonoGRAM. In describing the position of the figures on the Field of the Medal I have used the term DEXTER for the right hand side, i.e. the left of the observer; and SINISTER for the left, or right hand of the observer. It should be noticed that the CLASPS of the Medal, which are also termed BARs, are worn in inverse order; the oldest clasp being placed next the medal, and the latest one being at the top. Badges and Medals are also granted as charges in Coat Armour, and are sometimes placed upon the Crest and Supporters, as in the following examples:-- Trafalgar Gold Medal, suspended by a gold chain round the neck of each of the supporters to the arms of Earl Northesk. The same medal with ribbon is in the arms of Taylor. La Hogue Gold Medal, in the arms and on the crest of Tupper. P. XXIV. F. 2. Naval Gold Medal, borne in the arms of Lord Camperdown, Hoste Bart., and Malcolm. Peninsular Gold Cross, in the arms of Campbell Bart.

Peninsular Medal, for Orthes, in the arms of Harvey, and Kerrison; Badajoz, in the arms and crest of Jones Bart., and the same with clasp for Sahagun, Benevente and Orthes in the arms of Lord Vivian. In the arms of Viscount Combermere the medal for Salamanca; and that for Talavera in the arms of Campbell. Seringapatam Gold Medal, in the arms and crest of Munro, and in the arms of Scott; and in the crest, with that of the Egyptian Medal, 1801, of De-la-Motte. Waterloo Medal, in the arms of Dance, Kerrison, Thackwell and Vivian. Medal and Ribbon for Candahar and Ghuznee, in the arms of Nott. Badge of the Order of Charles III. of Spain, in the arms of Viscount Gough. Badge of the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword, borne in the arms of Campbell, Harvey, and McGregor. The latter has also the Badge of the Turkish Crescent in his coat of arms. Dooranee Badge, is borne on a canton in the arms of Willshire Bart. Badge of the Lion and Sun of Persia, in the arms of Malcolm, G.C.B. 1815, who had on his dexter supporter the Medal for Seringapatam, and on the sinister supporter the Badge of the Lion and Sun; both on an escutcheon, azure, suspended by their respective ribbons round the neck. War-Medals when borne with the Coat of Arms, are suspended from the shield by the ribbon, showing the Clasp, if any. See Plate XXIV. REGULATIONS AS To WEARING DECORATIONS AND MEDALs. Medals to be worn in full dress, on the left breast, and in the order of the dates on which they were conferred, the first Decoration or Medal being placed furthest from the shoulder in the following order:— 1. English Decorations. 2. English Medals. 3. Foreign Decorations. 4. Foreign Medals. The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct is to be worn after the War- Medals. Medals granted for acts of Bravery in Saving Life, being worn in Uniform and having the necessary authority, will be worn on the Right Breast. REGULATIONS ISSUED OCTOBER 1890 as to the wearing of Medals and Decorations of Army Officers— Stars of Orders are never to be worn with patrol, stable or mess jackets, and only with frock coat when the cocked hat is also worn. Abroad, officers will wear their stars when foreign officers wear theirs. Ribands of Medals and Decorations will be worn with undress or mess uniform, sewn on without intervals and without overlapping, two rows being made if necessary. The riband of a Companion of the Bath, or any Order, is to be substituted for that of a Knight Grand Cross, or Knight Commander of any other Order. C. N. E. ECKLING GRANGE, EAST DEREHAM, 1893.

The Order of the Bath was probably instituted by King Henry IV., 1399, although Selden and Ashmole are of opinion that the said King did not institute, but rather revive it. After the coronation of Charles II., the Order was neglected until the year 1725, when George I. revived and remodelled it. However, several alterations have since been made, and on the second day of January, 1815, it was enlarged and divided into three classes, in commemoration of “the auspicious termination of the long and arduous contest in which this empire has been engaged.” On the 14th of April, 1847, it was further increased by the addition of Civil Divisions of the second and third classes, when new Statutes were made for the Government of the Order, which have since been revised and the Order now consists of the following members, viz.:- - 1st Class — KNIGHT'S GRAND CROSS (G. C. B.) — for the military service, fifty, exclusive of the Sovereign and princes of the blood royal, and such distinguished foreigners as may be nominated Honorary Knights Grand Cross, and twenty-five for the Civil Service. By Royal Warrant, 2nd June, 1725, all Knights Grand Cross are entitled to a grant of Supporters. The Military Knights must hold at least the rank of Major-Generals in the army or Rear-Admirals in the Navy. 2nd Class–KNIGHT'S COMMANDERS (K. C. B.)—for the military service, one hundred and twenty-three, and for the civil Service eighty, exclusive of foreign officers, who may be admitted as Honorary Knights Commanders. In the event of actions of signal distinction, or of future wars, the numbers of this, as well as of the third class, may be increased. The members of the second class are entitled to the distinctive appellation of Knighthood, after having been invested with the insignia. The Military Knights must hold the rank of Colonel in the army or Captain in the Navy. 3rd Class—COMPANIONS OF THE ORDER—six hundred and ninety, and for the Civil Service two hundred and fifty ; they take precedence of Esquires, but are not entitled to the appellation or style of Knights. No officer can be nominated to the military divison of the third class of the Order, unless his services have been marked by special mention of his name as having distinguished himself in action against the enemy. This class has never been conferred upon any officer below the rank of Major in the Army, and Commander in the Navy. PLATE XII. ºf ºf Micrºſſ ºf C.M. ELW/M.

The Cross, P. XXV. F. 3, is in the form of a cross pattée (Templars Cross). It is suspended by a Blue Ribbon, if worn by a Sailor, and a Red Ribbon if by a Soldier. The date of the act of bravery is inscribed on the centre of the reverse, with the name of the Action or Campaign in which the honour was won. On the reverse side of the Bar to which the ribbon is attached the Rank and Name of the Recipient is engraved. For every fresh act of bravery equal to the first an additional Bar is granted. A Pension of 4, 1o per annum is bestowed upon non-commissioned officers, and men who receive the Cross; and a further pension of £5 a year is given with each Bar. By Warrant bearing date Dec., 13th., 1858, it was declared that non-military persons, who as Volunteers, had borne arms against the Mutineers in India should be considered eligible to receive the decoration of the Victoria Cross. * . The first courageous deed for which the Cross was granted was that performed by C. D. Lucas, Mate of H. M. S. Hecla, on the 21st., June, 1854, when he seized and threw overboard a live shell, which had been fired on to that vessel. C. D. Lucas has since risen to be Rear-Admiral. The Rev. Jas. Williams Adams B. A. Rector of Postwick co., Norfolk while chaplain of the Cabul field force, was gazetted to the Cross for rescuing two men of the 9th.
