Whilst on Saint Helena, Napoleon and his suite worked tirelessly on the emperor's memoirs and on his press campaign to keep his predicament before the public gaze.

Many suspected it to be Napoleon, but from what could be conjectured from the letters, they appeared to have been written by Las Cases held at the Cape after being banished from Saint Helena in December and sent to Lady Clavering 'Lady C. Las Cases had after all been governor to Lady Clavering's children while both were in exile in London in the late s.

It would be forty two years after the last battles and exile of the emperor to the island of Saint Helena before the need to adequately and officially recognise the service of these combat veterans was eventually recognised officially by an imperial decree of Emperor Napoleon III creating, on 12 August , [3] the Saint Helena Medal.

The medal was awarded with no condition of minimum time of service or participation in a particular military campaign; it was, however, necessary to prove one's right to the medal with a record of service or leave record.

The Saint Helena Medal is of irregular shape and struck from bronze. A ring or small orbs separates the central medallion from the wreath. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
