The medals granted for the Punjab Frontier are named with a rather coarse script. The engraving on the Hazara medal for 1888 has rather finer-cut strokes, and the naming on the Sikkim medal, 1888, is the same. King Edward's medal for Waziristan, 1901-2, is engraved in the same style; but the medal for Chin-Lushai 1889-90 is named in a neat round hand. The Maharajah of Kashmir's bronze medal for Chitral, 1895, is impressed in badly aligned and carelessly spaced block letters. The Cape of Good Hope medal is engraved in neat, squat, upright Roman capitals, and that for Natal is generally named in very lightly impressed upright skeleton block. The East and Central Africa medal with swivel ring is named in a light script; but the same medal with bar for Uganda, 1897-8, is engraved rather roughly in light Roman capitals. But these medals are named in several ways. For Sierra Leone in square block capitals. With bar for 1891-2 the medal is named in slightly sloping Roman capitals, that for 1892 the same. That with bar for 1897-8 named like the tall thin block letters used on some of the Boer War medals. The Boer War medals were generally indented with block capitals, either square, like ~HILL~, or tall like this, HILL, or engraved in this style, ~F. HILL, 2/Linc Rqt~: King Edward's medal for Ashanti, 1900, is generally impressed in rather small skeleton block lettering. The China medal, 1900, is named--for the navy--with a bold but light kind of Roman capital, similar to that described on page 354 as used on the Suakin, 1885, medals. The Tibet medal is generally named in a combination of large and small Roman and script, as ~G.Hand, 1ˢᵗ·13Bⁿ·ᵣ.~ The Indian medal for 1908 is engraved in script, but so badly that one could not conceive an engraver's apprentice of one year's standing doing so badly. King George's medal for Abor, 1911-12, is engraved in a rather crude script. _The illustrations of the namings are mostly considerably enlarged to render comparison easier._ [Illustration: GERMAN MEDAL FOR FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR, 1870-1.] [Illustration: FRENCH MEDAL GIVEN TO VETERANS OF THE WAR OF 1870-1.] [Illustration: FIRST CHILIAN WAR MEDAL, 1880.] [Illustration: SECOND CHILIAN WAR MEDAL, 1881.] SOME CONTINENTAL AND FOREIGN WAR MEDALS A century ago the Prussians were our allies. Today the position is reversed, and we have hastened to assist the descendants of the brave men who routed the Prussians at Jena and the Austrians at Marengo, and so strenuously fought against our forefathers at Waterloo. I have already described most of the medals awarded for that famous battle, but there are others of an interesting character which were awarded for the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, when the various continental nations strove against the genius and power of Napoleon.
