Footnote 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=. 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 issued to British officers and men by our Allies.

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._
