It occurred to me earlier, “When was the first medal awarded” because it sounded of a certain sect origin to me…

Waterloo eh! The tale of rothschild-N taking over the stock market on a rumour of wellingtons defeat… sure if that is how it happened then probably they sidled up against Wellington and what a brilliant idea, handing out bits of tin for a limb shot off by a cannonball eh! Surely a public relations classic to rival bernays “smokin’ suffragettes” ad campaign for the tobacco companies eh! Actually there is a classic yank sci-fi radio episode of martians invading and hiring an advertising company to stage a martian parade where the actual martians were going to use it to do a coup…

Waterloo first time a medal handed out to proles anyway… sure the cunts at the cuntrols been plastering themselves in ribbons sashes and medallions way before that eh!

But, aren’t medals a kind of currency… that film adaptation of that sven hassel novel where the aristocratic, automatically appointed major, was after his iron cross first class eh! bits of tin higher value than money eh!…
