JapanX,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I agree it's likely they were named by the government.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I have a couple of questions on the gold medal mentioned earlier in this thread.

1. Why was it 'infamous'?

2. If recipients named their own medals (mentioned in an earlier post), as Ducat was an Indian Army officer, why is his medal named in French?
