Corrections and additions should be sent to the Editor or Publishers previously to the 20th of June, and the 20th of December. ADDRESS TO THE JULY EDITION, 1849. IN the present Number of the New Navy List, the Editor has endeavoured to redeem the promise made in previous numbers with reference to the grant of the "Naval Medal." By the assistance readily accorded to him by those Navy Agents who have received the Medal for their different clients, he has been enabled to accomplish the task thus far; and he takes this opportunity of publicly expressing his obligations to those gentlemen. The records of services contained in the New Navy List have also facilitated this undertaking, and although, in some instances, doubtlessly imperfect, it is hoped the information given will be acceptable to the Naval profession generally. It will be observed, in some instances, that the Medal has been bestowed upon Officers whose services entitling them thereto are not noted in the New Navy List, and such Officers as are desirous of rendering the List more complete in this respect, are requested to communicate their services to the Editor, who at all times thankfully receives additions and corrections. The Naval Medal is denoted by m', and every additional clasp is denoted by figures:-thus, m' signifies a medal and seven clasps or bars. |
