This medal was awarded to members of the Imperial and Canadian forces who, between 1866 and 1870, took part in the suppression of raids by the Fenian Brotherhood, and Irish Republican organization based in the US, and Riel’s First Rebellion of 1870, the latter being generally referred to as the red River Expedition. These unsuccessful raids, conducted on British outposts in Canada, were attempts to pressure Britain to abandon it’s battle with Ireland. The piece is beautiful. With a lovely silver patina, the piece has a swivel feature at the top of the medal, to be able to spin it 360 degrees, to show whichever side you’d like. The original ribbon is in excellent condition, as is the medal itself, as this piece has been kept in a sleeve and case for the last 50-some-odd years (my grandfather’s time owning it). As always, any questions or queries will be promptly addressed and any requests will be taken care of by day’s end. We’re always happy to just chat about history!
