The decoration was established on June 27, 1908 and the first recipient of the award was Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury . To be awarded the WestIndies Campaign Medal, a service member must have performed sea duty in the WestIndies between the dates of May 1, 1898 and August 16, 1898. The award was a one time decoration only and there were no devices authorized for multiple engagements or combat participation. The decoration was rarely bestowed, since most Navy and Marine Corps personnel received the Sampson Medal for WestIndies service, and Navy regulations prohibited the bestowal of both the Sampson Medal and WestIndies Campaign Medal for the same period of duty. The WestIndies Campaign Medal was declared obsolete by the U.S. Navy in 1913, following a diplomatic request by Spain that the United States discontinue service medals which displayed Spain s national colors. As a result, those who had previously received the WestIndies Campaign Medal were permitted to exchange the decoration for the Spanish Campaign Medal .

All the other novels in the series take place during the 1793 1815 wars with revolutionary and Napoleonic France . This one takes place when Britain is at peace, May 1821 October 1823. Hornblower has been promoted Rear Admiral and has been named in command of the WestIndies station, i.e. the Caribbean , with a squadron consisting of three frigate s and fourteen brigs and schooners. While it is the last Hornblower novel chronologically, at least one short story is set after the events in this novel. In the Royal Navy of the early nineteenth century, promotion from Post Captain Captain to Admiral was based solely on seniority. Hornblower was made a Captain in 1805. Compared with the distinguished officer Edward Berry , who was promoted to Post Captain Captain in 1797, and was not promoted to Rear Admiral until 1821, seniority should not have brought promotion to Rear Admiral to Hornblower until the mid 1830s or later.

Initially, these volunteers were drafted into a variety of units within the army, but in 1915 it was decided to group them together into a single regiment, named the British WestIndies Regiment . The similarity of titles has sometimes led to confusion between this war time unit and the long established West India Regiment . Both were recruited from Caribbean blacks and a number of officers from the WIR were transferred to the BWIR.

Use dmy dates date November 2010 The term British WestIndies refers to the former colonies and present possessions of the United Kingdom in the Caribbean . In the history of the British WestIndies there have been several attempts at political unions. These attempts occurred over a period of more than 300 years, from 1627 to 1958, and were carried out, or sometimes imposed, first by the English and then the British government. During this time, some of the attempted unions were true federations of colonies and others involved attaching various colonies to a major, nearby colony for the purposes of cheaper, efficient government or because the attached colonies were too small to justify a separate government. The initial federal attempts never went so far as to try to encompass all of the British WestIndies BWI , but were more regional in scope. The historical regional groupings were the British Leeward Islands , British Windward Islands and Jamaica with other nearby English British colonies such as the Cayman Islands, British Honduras and the Turks and Caicos Islands. note the original ... would re appear during the life of the Federation of the WestIndies .
