Notes for JAMES NORTH:

Ian Hardy <freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~ianhardy>

'The Village of Dipton, which lies about 12 miles south west of Newcastle, between the mining and steel making towns of Stanley and Consett, is much older than its name. It was not until 12 September 1883 that the Parish of Dipton was formed. It consisted of the straggle of houses making up the hamlets of Dipton, Collierley (note spelling not colliery) Dykes and Pontop which themselves had grown out of the ancient townships of Collierley and Pontop.

A hundred years ago 'Dipton' was the name given only to the part of the village lying in the little Dene below the Bute Arms pub. The middle of the village, around the Red Lion, was called Collierley Dykes, and the part of the village to the west of St Johns Church was called Pontop. The township of Pontop from High Stables to the Church) was originally a strip of wasteland, which the Bishop of Durham rented out. The first recorded tenant was Lawrence of Ponthope. In 1246 he was paying a rent of 2 shillings. In 1603 its then owners sold the property to Anthony Meaburn of Lanchester who owned it until 1732. The Meaburns lived on their land and built the fine house known as Pontop Hall.

At the point where Dipton Church now stands Pontop Township ended and Collierley began. Sir John Guildford held the township in return for his service to the Bishop of Durham and to King Henry 111 at the battle of Lewes in 1264. The Guildford family kept the township until the 15th century when it began to be divided by sale and inheritance. By the 18th century when Pontop was still in the hands of one owner, Collierley was divided between nine owners.

The Bishop of Durham's records show that in 1339 the tenants of Collierley rented a wood called the 'Smethystrother' and a pasture called 'Depeden', held by a sixpence per year rent. This is the first reference to the place name which was to become Dipton. It is probable that the sixpenny pasture which gave its name to Dipton lay somewhere near the deep dene near the present sewerage works.

It was about 1333 that the first coal mine was recorded at Collierley and from that year until 1980 coal was the main reason for Dipton 's existence '.

Notes for JOHN NORTH:

 

 

From the book The Hartley Colliery Disaster, 1862, by John E. McCutcheon: "Then there were numerous boys of tender age, about fifty or so of them. Three were from one family, the North family, There was John, aged 14; Alexander, aged 12; and George, aged 10. What uncontrollable terror would fill the hearts and minds of these children in their dark and forbidding prison. It is significant that many of them were found nestling, tightly heald for consolation, in the arms of their fathers."

 

Bodies were trapped for 10 days before they could be retreived.

New Hartley Disaster (Hester Pit)

 

January 16th. 1862 was the day of the disaster,

 

21 tons of cast iron falling faster, and faster.

 

A pumping beam snapped and down the shaft it fell,

 

Below, it must have sounded like something from hell.

 

Many sections were dislodged from the shaft lining,

 

 One shaft was the only way out for those, coalmining.

 

The shaft was blocked off, the miners' entombed,

 

It wasn't known then but these miners' were doomed.

 

Rescuers worked tirelessly for several days on end,

 

Trying to save, father, son, brother and friend.

 

But gases built up quickly in the mine working,

 

It caused miners' to sleep, stopped them from talking.

 

When the rescuers entered the mine; far too late,

 

They first found John Galligar; death was his fate.

 

He looked normal and seemed only to be sleeping,

 

The scenes that followed would start brave men weeping.

 

Men and boys, lying, sitting or kneeling, unable to roam,

 

 Brothers locked in each other's arms thinking of home.

 

Motionless, lifeless; sons with heads on dad's shoulder,

 

Death silently took them; they'll never grow older.

 

In the pocket of overman Mr. Amour, a book was found,

 

It noted a prayer meeting that took place underground.

 

 Plus, Friday half past two, Gledson and others, extremely ill,

 

Their faith remained; did they ever question God's will?

 

Personal items were recovered and placed in a heap with a nod,

 

On one tin flask a message was scratched, "Mercy, O God!"

 

On another, "Friday afternoon. My Dear Sarah---- I leave you,"

 

He was resigned to his fate; there was nothing else he could do.

 

Nearly every home in the village lost a breadwinner,

 

 No longer would they come home for their dinner.

 

Rivers of tears flowed, which could have filled a lake,

 

Many lives changed, evermore suffering heartache.

 

 Thousands of people attended the funerals to mourn,

 

They lined the streets where the coffins were drawn.

 

Most miners were buried in the churchyard at Earsdon,

 

Others buried at Cramlington, Cowpen, Seghill and Horton.

 

If there had been two shafts and not one, in this coalmine,

 

Those trapped below would have had a lifeline.

 

The disaster led to the introduction of a new Parliament Act,

 

It was too late for these poor souls, and that's a sad fact.

From the site: http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/

 

The town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is the only part of England which is sited on the north bank of the River Tweed. For this reason, it has had a unique history. Constantly fought over between the English and the Scots because of its strategic position ( a stronghold for the English into Scotland and an eastern port and gateway into England for the Scots ) , the town changed hands at least 13 times before finally becoming English in 1482. Since then, it has still enjoyed a unique position in England. A treaty signed by Henry VII of England and James IV of Scotland in 1502 acknowledged Berwick as "of" but not "within" the Kingdom of England - an independent state in the middle. This unusual position continued until 1836 when Berwick-upon-Tweed was made "a county of itself ". It was only officially amalgamated into the county of Northumberland in 1974. Because of its history, it is often said that the town is still at war with Russia.

 

In the past Berwick's history has been shaped by its continual military occupation and its proximity to the River Tweed. Until the 17th century, the town was either garrisoned by English or Scots soldiers and even after that date, the English saw it as a useful military base. Until the early 20th century, salmon fishing on the River Tweed played an important role in the area's economy. From the medieval period, salmon caught at the various fisheries on the River Tweed were exported through the port of Berwick to London and other places. In the early 19th century, the salmon were transported in ice or live in the hulls of the 'Berwick Smacks', the fastest vessels sailing on the east coast to London.

 

Berwick-upon-Tweed, along with Tweedmouth and Spittal on the south bank of the River Tweed is the largest settlement within the Borough.

THE HARTLEY FAMILIES

 

by Adam and Joan Bunting

 

On Thursday, 16th January 1862 there took place, in the small community of New Hartley, near Blyth in south-east Northumberland, the greatest mining disaster in the history of Britain's coalfields. On that day, 204 men and boys were lost when the giant beam of the pumping engine snapped and twenty tons of cast iron hurtled down the only shaft, blocking all attempts at rescue for several vital days. Nearly all the fatalities were caused by gas which quickly built up in the workings, and the entire community of New Hartley was overwhelmed by the tragedy. Almost every home in the village lost a breadwinner, and in some the coffins were said to have been stacked from floor to ceiling. The funeral that followed on January 26th was remembered for generations - for despite the fact that a few bodies were taken to Cramlington, Cowpen and Seghill for burial, most were buried together in the churchyard at Earsdon, four miles away, and it is said that the last coffin had not left New Hartley  when the first was reaching the churchyard, thronged by 60,000 people who had come to stare or to mourn.

 

This article is intended to give some account of the families involved in the Hartley tragedy. The information is taken mainly, from records at Northumberland County Record Office which holds not only the 1861 Census, taken only nine months before the disaster but also the surviving records of the Hartley Relief Fund which throws some light on the subsequent history of the bereaved families, long after the crowds had dispersed.

 

Many of the miners lived in the new mining village of New Hartley, close by the Hester Pit (opened in 1845), where the disaster occurred. T. Wemyss Reid, in his graphic description of the rescue efforts, for the Newcastle Daily Journal described it: "as unpicturesque in appearance as possible. It is comprised in two long rows of houses ... in the form of a letter L, with a few small gardens on the other side of he muddy road in front". The long side of the L included the single (or Long) Row, and the Double Row; the shorter side was the Cross Row. There were two outlying rows -- Quarry Row to the North, and Hastings Row to the South. In addition many, miners lived scattered around in hamlets such as Silver Hill or Dairy House, or in the village of Old Hartley some two miles to the east.

 

No man knew the people of these single-storey rows better than the colliery viewer, Joseph Humble. The viewer's duties were those of a manager who would be responsible for the day-to-day running of the pit, hiring workers, and so on. It was fitting that he had been chosen as census enumerator for much of the area in 1861: he would have known many of the families personally and would have their confidence in recording their details. Incidentally we have been able to find a good number of the miners' families in the 1861 census, but by no means all. Many would have moved into the area at the annual spring hiring in May, and in particular there was a big influx of new families from Scotland up at Quarry Row.

 

Joseph Humble played a vital role during the anxious days following the closing of the shaft. He it was that kept communications going between the rescuers, led by the renowned 'sinker', William Coulson, and the anxious families at the pithead. He it was that was asked to go down once the way was open and see for himself the huddled rows of bodies with sons cradled for protection in their fathers' arms. His words poignantly expressed the grief sensed by all around him: "Oh, my men, my canny men, they would have done ought for me and there they are all lying dead and cold".

 

Finally, once the funeral was over, it was Joseph Humble who was given the task of taking the first payments of the relief fund round the rows to the bereaved families. The company gathered everyone together either into the five main rows, or into houses in Old Hartley with the exception of a couple of families in Silver Hill and Dairy House. The fund money poured in from all over the country, and increased rapidly, reaching £50,000 by February 13th and over £75,000 by early April. Apart from special payments for various purposes, it was decided to give 8/6d. weekly to each widow, 12s. to a widow with one child, and 15s. to a widow with two children. Many of the widows remarried but twenty years after the disaster there were still over seventy recipients.

 

Readers interested in tracing any family in detail would be rewarded by a careful search of the surviving records of the Relief Fund, to be found in Northumberland County Record Office, reference NRO 488, New Hartley Colliery Accident Relief Fund Papers 1862-1903. The collection includes an index to the names of the 'sufferers' (i.e. surviving next-of-kin) and Joseph Humble's first notebook, a complete schedule of 'sufferers' set out by order of houses and rows, with details of payments given in February and March 1862. This notebook is full of informative notes and comments, and most of the details in the lists given below this article have been drawn from it. We did not have time to look at the subsequent lists in detail, but it was immediately apparent that it would be possible to trace the subsequent history of any recipient of relief over a considerable period of time, perhaps twenty or more years if one was lucky. We hope that the details below will at least be sufficient to  help the reader decide whether any relationship with one of the Hartley families does in fact exist, but there remains much more to he discovered among the surviving documents.

 

LIST OF VICTIMS

 

The 204 victims are listed below. Order is roughly alphabetical but known close relatives are placed in family groups, father first, sons in order of age. Spelling of names is as on the Hartley Memorial Monument in Earsdon churchyard, except in cases where these are clearly wrong. The age at death is given as on the monument, but a number of these were wrong and if so, are given in brackets. We have given more credence to the 1861 Census or the relief fund notebooks, but there seems little doubt that some widows simply did not know their husbands' true ages. Where the address in 1861 is known, this is also given after the victim's age. The exact address of every widow was given in the 1862 relief fund notebooks but many soon moved away after only a week or two, so we have not recorded them here. Under 'next-of-kin' the widow's christian name is given plus, in parentheses, the names and ages of all known children, including babies born after the disaster.

 

N.B. All places mentioned are believed to be in Northumberland unless otherwise shown. Abbreviations are generally straightforward., bn. = born, a/n = above-named.

 

For the purposes of this genealogy, I am including only the names of the individuals pertinent to this family search. You may use the above website address to access the entire site and the remaining 200 names on this list.

Per David Owens <DavidOwns@aol.com> One true spooky bit,- after the accident, a drift mine was made, into the disaster workings, to get production up and running again. When some-one counted the steps down the drift, it came to 204. The miners would not use it, as it was a bad omen. That is true, and the drift is still there, and the entrance can still be seen in a local field.

 

Bodies were trapped for 10 days before they could be retreived.

Notes for EDWARD SIMPSON:

 

 

From Edward Lewis

 

Edward Simpson was a mine engineer, carpenter, and cabinet maker. He also assisted the undertaker and owned the hearse and made the caskets according to measurement and other specifications such as trim and finish. Jean, his wife, installed the padding and tufting. He wore a high hat, frock tail coat and white gloves.

 

George Stephenson and the grandfather of Edward Simpson were first cousins. They were both large blond gentlemen with a good sense of humor and very congenial.

 

Edward Simpson and Jean North were married and the children born to them were: Phyllis, Jane, Ned, Rachel (all born in England), Mary and Tom (born in Ohio, USA). After coming to Ohio, he invested in a mine property south by east from New Lexington. A short while after getting the mine into production, a cyclone blew the tipple down and he was unable to regain his losses.

He was born April 05, 1862 in Summit County, Tallmadge OH, and died February 23, 1928 in Rosefarm OH.

 

 

Notes for JANE ANNE SIMPSON:

 

 

Jane Ann, the daughter of Edward and Jean North Simpson was born on April 22, 1870 in County Durham Dipton England.

 

At the age of eight she, with her parents, came to America to live. Here, August 31, 1889, she was married to Thomas Lewis. This union was blessed with eight children. Two children, an infant daughter, Mabel, a son Robert, and her husband preceded her in death.

 

Five sons, Fred & Albert of Rose Farm, Edward of Chicago Illinois, Harry & Walter of the home, and her only daughter, Mrs. Paul C. (Dorothy) Ebert of the home, hold their mother in loving memory. Three sisters, Mrs. Arch Allen & Mrs. Mary Plummer of Zanesville & Mrs. A. J. Flood of Rose Farm and two brothers, Edward Simpson of Rose Farm and Thomas Simpson of Clinton Indiana together with 12 grandchildren survive her.

 

She was a member of the Starlight Chapter of Eastern Star. With her husband, she was a charter member of the Rose Farm Church of Christ. And was always faithful in her support and attendance as long as her health permitted.

 

The Lewis home was a hospitable one. Always open to friends and strangers. Many were the acts of kindness bestowed upon those less fortunate by this unassuming and kindly woman.

 

Her devotion to her family was unlimited. This devotion was mutual, for six sons and a devoted daughter where always mindful of her pleasure and comfort.

 

Mrs. Lewis was all the word "Mother" implies. She had a gentle speech and a personal charm that suggested a good and noble woman.

 

Three words fall sweetly on my ear,

 

As music from an angel lyre,

 

That bid my spirit spurn control

 

And upward to its source aspire -

 

The sweetest sounds to mortals given:

 

Are heard in Mother, Home & Heaven

Notes for THOMAS HENRY LEWIS:

 

 

Thomas H. Lewis, son of William and Winifred Morgan Lewis was born April 5, 1862 at Tallmadge Ohio and died at his home in Rose Farm Ohio February 23, 1928. Aged 65 years, 10 months, 18 days.

 

He was married to Jane Simpson Aug 30, 1889. To this union, 8 children were born. Two children, Robert, aged 32 years, and an infant daughter, Mabel, preceded their father in death.

 

Those left to cherish his memory are his widow, five sons, Fred & Albert of Rose Farm, Edward & Harry of Chicago, Walter of the home, and one daughter, Mrs. Paul C. (Dorothy) Ebert, of the home. One sister, Mrs. Sarah Papke (the only surviving member of his father's family) and seven grandchildren.

 

Mr. Lewis was especially fond of children and his grandchildren were a special delight to him.

 

Held in high regard and esteem in the community where he has so long resided, and being deliberate and broad minded, his judgment was always sought in the affairs of the community. For many years he served as a member of the board of education and trustee for York Township.

 

A more faithful husband, a more loving father than Mr. Lewis could not be found. His home was a hallowed place where he, in his kind and gentle manner had sweet communion with his loved ones.

 

Years ago, he became a member of the Rose Farm Church of Christ. He was elected a deacon and named chairman of the church board which office he held until his death. Always faithful in every church obligation, he was found in the church whenever his health permitted.

 

The friendly greeting, the warm handclasp, and the many deeds of kindness will long be cherished by his family and friends.

 

Sunset and evening star,

 

And one clear call for me

 

And may there be no moaning attn-bar

 

When I put out to sea.

November 28th, 1927

 

Dear Son,

 

It is with pleasure I answer your letter and glad to hear you are alright and to hear you have got plenty of work. The Boys are looking every place for work. Everything is bad. They cannot get anything. Harry and is wife went to Zanesville Sunday to see 'bout work. I have not heard from them yet. I was sorry Harry could not work out there.

 

Fred was over and he told me to tell you he has not got that shirt pattern.

 

Everybody is getting out of Rosefarm. Dorothy and Paul are thinking of going up to Newark with Violet on Sunday to see if they can get work.

 

Peggy went away Saturday and I sure was glad. She is just the same old Peggy. She wanted to fuss all the time. We had a good fuss and she cried and threw up to me because she gave me $5 a week. I did not ask her to pay me anything. But I took it just the same and I hope it will be a long time before she visits me again. I was sorry things was so unpleasant for you as they were when you was at home. Hope she never will be here again when you are here.

 

Well I guess I will tell you about Fred got a 'coon and he weighed about 18 pounds. He sure was pretty. Peggy wanted it and he told her she could have his hide for 14 dollars. He is holding it for her. She's looking to see what it will cost her to have it tanned.

 

We was all up to Fred's for Thanksgiving dinner. There were 30 for dinner and supper and we sure had a good time. Hope you got to go hunting and had a good time. The Boys went hunting and Harry got 12. Tibby got 4 with a club. (This I am assuming refers to rabbits?) He says he cannot buy shells so he just clubs them to death and is making a cradle for Dona and it sure is pretty. It will be a poor Christmas for everybody in the coal field. They are all talking and I do not write very good. But I guess you can read this so I will close with love from Mother and Da. I was sorry about that letter. It was at the office for a week.

Notes for MARY HEMMELBACH:

 

 

Mary Elva, daughter of William and Sarah Willison Hamelback, was born January 30, 1865 at Zanesville and departed this life September 26, 1956 at Roseville, Ohio. Age 91 years, 8 months, 26 days.

 

She was united in marriage to Edward Simpson who preceded her in death.

 

Those who are left to cherish her memory are: one son, Morris Simpson of Cincinnati; one sister, Mrs. Hattie Turnbull of Crooksville; one foster sister, Winifred Burwell of New Hampshire; one grand-daughter, Mrs. Leroy Henry of Roseville; one great grand-son, Mr. Morris Henry of Roseville; several nieces & nephews and a host of friends.

 

She was a teacher of the Adult Class of the Rose Farm Sunday School for 28 years. When the present Church was organized, she became a charter member, bringing her membership from the First Church in Zanesville, Ohio. She was a faithful member, having served as Superintendent, trustee, and or teacher as long as her health permitted.

 

She was all that the word "Mother" implies. Of gentle ways and quiet speech, she poured out her love upon all with whom she came in contact. Being keenly intelligent, broad minded and having a compassionate heart, her council and advice was sought by family and friends. Many were the deeds of kindness, bestowed on those less fortunate by this gentle and unassuming woman.

 

She loved flowers, and their beauty and profusion responded to the careful tending of her gentle hands. Her love for children knew no bounds, and the grand-daughter raised in her home was a constant source of pleasure to her.

 

During her illness, even though at times in great pain, she was patient & always had a smile for those around her.

 

"Aunt Mary," as she was lovingly called by friends, was a shining example of a true Christian gentle-woman.

My dear mother,

 

I received your letter and was sure glad to get it for I was feeling pretty blue but now that is all changed. I never felt better in my life. We have some hard times and get into some tight places, but altogether it is not so bad. You spoke of Eddie going to camp (boot camp). Don't let that worry you for the war is going to end before you think it is. By the time you get this, you will read in the papers about what the Americans are doing, so hope for the best. I got a picture of Marjorie; she sure is a dandy kid. She soon will be calling you grandma won't she? I bet Banjo (Frederick) has got some boy by this time. His uncle Bob will be home and don't you forget that. Give my love to all and tell old G Spicer that we are going to get the Kaisers scalps!

 

Your loving son

 

Robert

Hello Ed,

 

I received your letter along with the rest but am looking for more. We either get no mail or we get a whole bunch at one time. We are having pretty chilly weather over here now but that makes no difference to the Americans. The French think they are the best ever. When I wrote yesterday, the Hun shells were squealing over my head and hitting in a French village behind us but the boys made a big advance and now we can hardly hear the guns. We really don't know as much about what is going on as you do except on this one front, but if there is as much activity on the other fronts as there is on this one the Kaiser is about finished (I would say).

 

You said you expected I would know ________________ your new _____________was. I would have known but I opened your letter first. Tell Cliff that I am waiting for an answer to that letter I wrote him. All the boys are hunting souvenirs and I expect I will look for a few myself when I get time. Tibby will get sore at Cliff for grabbing off Gladys, Cliffton won't he? Ha Ha I am sending Tib a little note.

 

Notes from Helen Lewis Barshay regarding above letter to Ed (her father) from Robert:

 

Tib (sometimes Tibby) was the nickname for Albert for much of his life. or all of it. We children of Ed were told to call him Uncle Tib.

 

Before the hostilities ended for that war, Robert was among those who were gassed by the Germans, and he died of those effects after returning home from the war.

 

My father, Edward, was also in the army during that war. He was stationed at a hospital in this country, caring for patients afflicted by the Great flu epidemic, the worst in the 20 th century.

 

The Cliff mentioned in Robert's letter is my mother's older brother, Cliff, who was a great friend of my father (and apparently of his brothers).

Notes for CARL EDWARD LEWIS:

 

 

Once more with tragic suddenness, death has laid its heavy hand upon a young man of our community. With terrible swiftness, his death brought a feeling of deep sorrow and depression to our small village.

 

Carl Edward Lewis was the son of Mary and Fred Lewis, born at Rose Farm on January 29, 1920. On September 7, 1944 he was united in marriage to Miss Hallie Mae Dempster and to this union three children were born: Mary, eight, Carla, seven, and his small son, Fred, only five.

 

He leaves to mourn his untimely passing, his wife and three children. His mother, Mrs. Mary Lewis of Cleveland, three brothers, Robert of Crooksville, Route 2, Maynard and Ronald of Cleveland, and two sisters, Mrs. Paul (Jean) Gold and Mrs. Francis (Dona) Liddy, also of Cleveland and his aged maternal grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Sohrennsen.

 

His father preceded him in death only a few months ago.

 

Carl was born and reared in this small community peopled with his relatives and friends. He settled to rear his own family among the environments that he loved most. Bidding farewell to his family, he hurried off to meet the tasks of his work-a-day life - that of providing for his family.

 

He literally died in the line of duty. Pausing as he did in his days occupation to find his way . . . . .to chart his course . . . .to find which way to go in the pursuit of labor. A bit of irony marked his fate. It decreed the earthly course of this young man should terminate and, without highway map or hesitation, he went out to join the "Innumerable Caravan" from which no traveler ever returns. It was not without direction he moved on to eternal realms, charted and planned by the Great Designer. He is not dead, he is just away, living always in the hearts he loved.

 

By his patriotism and personal sacrifice, he gave his service to his country for three long years. To try to bring an unwilling world to the consideration of peace. His service record is most admirable. He received the "Unit Citation for bravery above and beyond the Call of Duty," the European-African Middle Eastern Service medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Carl was very modest about his Service Record, but it will glow with luster for his children. A brave soldier, a good son, a loving husband and father - his record closed.

 

Let fate do her worst . .

 

There are relics of joy,

 

Bright dreams of the past,

 

Which she cannot destroy.

 

They come in the night

 

Times of sorrow and care.

 

And bring back the features

 

That joy used to wear.

 

Long, long may my heart

 

With memories be filled;

 

Like the vase in which roses

 

Have once been distilled -

 

You make break, you may shatter

 

The vase if you will

 

But the scent of the roses

 

Will hang 'round it still.

 

(Obituary by Dorothy Lewis Ebert)

 

From Helen Lewis Barshey:

 

 . . . it was about 1939, or perhaps 1940. Carl & Hallie Mae were probably not yet married, because I can remember when Carl was in the army that Ronald (Bobby's dad), my brother and I followed the 2 of them (Carl & Hallie Mae) into the woods and watched them kissing & kissing. They knew we were there, and I guess we were curious.

 

 (Tricia) May I use that memory in the family file? I find Carl to be an interesting person and Hallie had to have been very strong. Carl is one of bobby's favorite uncles and he didn't even get the chance to meet him. He listened to his dad and uncle's Bob and Maynard talk about Carl.

 

Last time Maynard had surgery here, Maynard was giving a play-by-play of a small fist fight between Fred and Carl. Fred made Carl wrap his hands and he kept saying . ."come on boy . . don't be afraid of the fist" "come on, hit me one good time" and Carl walloped him too! lol Maynard's face was priceless as he told the story. Maynard said "I thought for sure that Carl was in for it, but dad just wiped the blood away and said 'I asked for that'" :)

 

(Helen) Yes, you may use it in the family file. Carl was so loved by all of us. He was so strong and impressive. And handsome, too. And virile, and all of that.

European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal

 

Establishing Authority

 

 The European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was established by Executive Order 9265 signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on November 6, 1942, and implemented by War Department Bulletin 56 (1942) and Navy Department General Orders Number 253 (1942).

 

Effective Dates

 

 The European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was awarded for qualifying service between December 7, 1941, and March 2, 1946.

 

Criteria

 

 The European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was awarded for for qualifying service within the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater of Operations between December 7, 1941, and March 2, 1946, under any of the following conditions:

 

 -- On permanent assignment within the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater; or,

 

 -- For service in a passenger status or on temporary duty status for 30 consecutive days or 60 non-consecutive days; or,

 

 -- For service in active combat in the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater of Operations against the enemy and awarded a combat decoration or furnished a certificate by the commanding general of a corps, higher unit, or independent force that the individual actually participated in combat.

 

 Order of Precedence

 

The European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was worn after the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and before the World War II Victory Medal.

 

 Devices

 

 A. Bronze service stars: Bronze service stars were awarded by all services for participation in designated campaigns.

 

 B. Bronze arrowhead: A bronze arrowhead device was awarded for participation in designated Army amphibious and airborne combat assaults (Note: only one bronze arrowhead could be worn on the ribbon).

 

 Designer

 

 The obverse of the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was designed by Thomas Hudson Jones (1892-1969). The reverse was designed by Adolph A. Weinman (1870-1952).

 

First Recipient

 

 The first recipient of the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal was General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was presented his medal on July 24, 1947.

 

 Description and Symbolism

 

 Obverse: In the center of a bronze medallion one and a quarter inches in diameter, an LST landing craft is shown with troops landing under fire, with an airplane in the background below the words EUROPEAN-AFRICAN-MIDDLE EASTERN CAMPAIGN (in three lines).

 

 This scene represents the major invasions of Africa and Europe during the Second World War and portrays elements of the Army, Navy, and Air Corps. The words describe the Theater of operations.

 

 Reverse: In the center of a bronze medallion one and a quarter inches in diameter, an American bald eagle is shown perched on a rock. To the eagle's left, the dates 1941-1945 (in two lines); to the eagle's right, the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (in three lines).

 

 The bald eagle is the national symbol and thereby represents the American people. It is perched on a solid rock which represents the firmness of resolve and strength of America in prosecuting the war, as indicated by the dates.

 

Ribbon: The ribbon to the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal has a broad center stripe of green that is bisected by blue, white and red pinstripes. The green is edged on the right by slightly wider pinstripes of green, white and red (green being the outmost color); to the left, the center stripe of green is edged by slightly wider pinstripes of white, black, and white. The outer edges of the ribbon are edged in brown.

 

 The Secretary of War directed that ribbons for the area campaign medals were to employ separate colors to denote the theaters they represented. The theater color was to predominate in each ribbon and the common relationship among all of them was to be achieved by using colored stripes put in the same place on each of the ribbons. The central stripe of green (bisected by the blue, white and red pinstripes taken from the American Defense Service Medal) alludes to the vegetation of Europe. The brown edge stripes represent North Africa. The green, white and red pinstripes inside the right edge are the colors of Italy and the white, black and white pinstripes inside the left edge represent Germany, thus representing both of the Axis powers in Europe.
