Victorian Period British Army in India Temperance Medals

Lot of four (x4) British Army Temperance Medals

British Army temperance medals were awarded by organizations like the Army Temperance Association (ATA) to soldiers who abstained from alcohol, often after signing a pledge. These medals were a way to recognize and encourage sobriety within the military. The ATA, which evolved from the Soldiers' Total Abstinence Association, awarded medals for varying periods of abstinence. The medals were part of a broader movement to promote temperance within the British Army, particularly in India.
