Summary[edit]

Description

Accession:73-317-M Award, Medal West Indies Naval Campaign, Sampson 2.75" H x 1.5" W

An Act of Congress on the 3rd of March 1901 authorized the Secretary of the Navy to award bronze medals to Navy and Marine personnel in commemoration of naval engagements in the West Indies and Cuba during the Spanish American War. The West Indies medal has a bas relief of Admiral William T. Sampson hence the name Sampson Medal. This is the second style issue from 1908 with the suspension ribbon attached directly to the medal bar. The medal is inscribed on the rim, " Paymaster Clerk W.R. Pattison USN."
