The book was compiled by Lt Col Robert Sandilands Frowd Walker (1850-1917) and includes a wealth of signatures from royalty, high-ranking officers and sportsmen.
It's broken down into sections, each representing a different award - including the Order of the Garter (featuring signatures from King George V and Queen Alexandra) and the Victoria Cross.
Each medal is identified with an illustration or a piece of the medal ribbon.
We have these incredible childhood drawings by King George V available.
