The formation of military societies like the Orange and Blew provided a socially acceptable setting for these gentlemen and occasionally ladies to convene and likely influence decision making within the context of empire building and military campaigns both domestically and internationally. As an anti-Catholic and pro-Protestant organisation the society's name reflects the colours associated with its principles orange for William Prince of Orange and blue for the House of Hanover. Given their roles in the King's Own Regiment of Foot it is evident why these beliefs were particularly strong among these gentlemen whose regimental history was closely tied to the events the society celebrated. Medals awarded to members particularly rare today appear in various forms, this book will explore the medal, members and the History of the Orange and Blew.
