EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Territorial Decoration of Major Allan Francis Leach Lewis: A Testament to Dedication and Service in the 10th Battalion, Royal East Kent Yeomanry" This evocative image showcases the Territorial Decoration (TD) George V issue, a cherished military award presented to Major Allan Francis Leach Lewis, a distinguished member of the 10th Battalion, Royal East Kent Yeomanry. The Territorial Decoration was established in 1899 to recognize the dedication and commitment of soldiers who served in the volunteer forces, known as the Territorial Army, outside of regular military service. Major Leach Lewis' TD medal group, now part of the former Buffs Regimental Museum collection, is a poignant reminder of his long and dedicated service to the regiment. The TD consists of a silver circular medal with an effigy of King George V on the obverse and the crowned cypher of the monarch on the reverse. The medal is suspended from a crimson ribbon with a silver gilt stripe. Major Leach Lewis' military career began when he joined the 10th Battalion, Royal East Kent Yeomanry, a part of the Buffs Regiment, in 1908. He rose through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional leadership and commitment to his regiment. His TD award reflects his unwavering dedication to his unit and the Territorial Army as a whole. The Territorial Decoration was a significant honor for soldiers like Major Leach Lewis, who served their country in the reserves, often balancing their military duties with civilian life. This medal group is a testament to his service and the sacrifices made by countless volunteers who answered the call to defend their nation. The former Buffs Regimental Museum, now part of the Kent History and Library Centre, preserves this and countless other military artifacts, allowing future generations to learn about the rich history of the Buffs Regiment and the dedicated soldiers who served within its ranks.
