This is a price-guide reference book containing up-to-date values, and lots of historical information on all campaign medals and related items awarded to British and Irish citizens from the second Boer War in 1899, to the current Iraq conflict. Every campaign is covered, including details of the various clasps awarded. Also covered are UN and NATO engagements where British or Irish troops were involved. A separate section is also devoted to the medals of Eire from 1916 onwards. The images are full colour, and are often full page sized.
