1900 CAMPAIGN MEDALS & BADGES

 

    By the 1900 campaign, the celluloid button was the predominant badge material and other badge and medals were in steep decline.  Other badge forms and materials held their own for a this campaign but by 1904 they were also in decline.  The lapel stud fad of the previous two campaigns is fading.
