Click to zoom
British Military Medals by Peter Duckers is a comprehensive and engaging guide to the history and significance of British and imperial military medals. Tracing their evolution from the Elizabethan era to the present day, Duckers explores how these medals were designed, produced, and awarded—offering insight into both gallantry and campaign medals.
What sets this book apart is its dual appeal: it’s a practical reference for collectors and a valuable resource for family and military historians. Duckers explains how medals can unlock stories about individual soldiers and the units they served in, and he includes guidance on researching medal rolls and archival sources, particularly those held at The National Archives.
The second edition is thoroughly revised and includes over 100 colour illustrations, making it not only informative but visually rich. Whether you're tracing an ancestor’s service or simply fascinated by military history, this book offers a clear, well-organized foundation for deeper exploration.
