SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
“It is a first-class and very interesting book of reference.”—The Guardian.
“This is a timely book, well compiled and excellently illustrated. Civilians are frequently puzzled to identify ribbons and medals of even recent origin, and how few have any knowledge of the hundreds of awards for service and gallantry, modern and historical, which exist in connection with the two Services. By means of Mr. Johnson’s compact volume they can learn all that a reasonably well-informed reader need know about these matters.... Most people will be glad to possess the volume, and for older boys it will prove an excellent gift book.”—The Bookman.
“Altogether an invaluable vade mecum on medals.”—The Regiment.
