Old medals are objects of true fascination: tangible links with the past and poignant reminders of those who served. In recent centuries the British government has bestowed a wide range of awards; from the OBE to campaign medals like the 1914 Star. This awards system presents a great opportunity for historical research; whether your starting point is an ancestor; a regiment; a campaign; or a medal. Most awards are attributable to individual men and women; and documented in sources still available today. These sources can be incredibly informative: for example; First World War medals rolls are the nearest we have to a full 'roll-call' for the Great War. Unlike other works which focus on medals identification; this guide shows you how to fully exploit the associated records - and extend your research into sources like the census and the War Diaries. Enriched with case studies and full-colour photography; it is your ideal companion to medals research.

It is worth the extra money even though I hesitated at the first when ordering curriculum.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. More than satisfiedBy LilyWhile not a dreary textbook with it's details; this is an incredible overview of the intermixing of the Bible and history. We loved the extension activity ideas and the extended reading/video ideas in the back. I am learning right along with my kid. This is the best homeschool materials we have.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. mystery of history is greatBy Tracy Guzmanwas what it said it was and is great my children are really enjoying it the book was in good shape and was all I needed
