Lt. Col. Mike Cox - Burlington Heights, Bladensburg
Maj. Dwight Conlan - Campaign Medal 1812, Bladensburg
Lt. Gary McClellan - Brandywine
Lt. Jerry Nelson - Special Battlefield Medal
Ens. Gene Nix - Bunker Hill
Ens. Chris Hopper - Monmouth
British:
Maj. Gen. Sean Coffey - Plattsburg
Lt. Col. D.S. Walter - Battlefield Completion Medal, Fort Ticonderoga, Monmouth, Sackett's Harbour
Capt. Sam Orlando - Monmouth
Lt. Richard White - North Point
Sgt. C.J. Thunfeldt (on the inactives list) - Brandywine
My congratulations for all recipients! <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
For those interested in statistics, with these awardings the Colonials manage to consolidate their lead and are now two medals ahead of the British. The totals for individual categories still show the familiar picture - the British are ahead in individual battles of the Revolution, the Colonials lead in the War of 1812 and in both Campaigns. The British have now five Battlefield Completion Medals, as compared to but one for the Colonials ... I don't really know what to make of this, but it appears that the Colonials have more active players that contribute to their lead, while the British have a small number of outstandingly active players. Details are available from the statistics page at the Award Center.
- Salute -
