The Commonwealth issued theDunbar Medal. It would appear that thefirst decorative medal issued, subsequent tothe Commonwealth, was that issued for theBattle of Culloden, which had a ring for suspension.In 1784 the East India Company acknowledgedthe services of their troops by awardinga medal for a campaign in the West of India.Medals were awarded by the Company in all'subsequent wars.The' first medal issued by authority in Englandlast century was that given for the Battleof Waterloo. It was conferred by order ofthe Prince Regent upon every officer andprivate present at the' engagement.No acknowledgment was made of thebrilliant services in the Peninsular War till1847, when a medal was issued for militaryservices between the years 1793 and 1814.Since the accession of Queen Victoria,HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE.29----;---- ~---...---....--- _ ....._--_._-medals have been awarded for every campaign,as well as for "long service," "meritoriousservice," "distinguished conduct,'"and the "Victoria Cross."There was at one time Regimental medals;these were struck at the expense of the officersof the regiments for distribution among thosewho served under them. This custom ceasedwhen a public acknowledgment was made ofthe services of the Army.J. S. C. FADE.PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.4324 Sergt. P. M'Dermid, promoted Colour. Sergeant7590 L.-Sergt. E.
