Troqueer Volunteer Prize Medal, 1805
This Honorary medal was given by Mrs Maxwell of Kirkconnell to
the second
marksman of the Troqueer Volunteers on 22 July 1805. It has an
elaborate
military motif on one side and the Maxwell coat of arms and a
simple
inscription on the other. The Volunteers were the precursors of
the local
militia raised by the government to defend Britain from attack
during the
Napoleonic wars from 1808 to 1815.
