Gillmore Medal
- In October of 1863 Major General Quincy A. Gillmore issued an order creating "medals of honor for gallantry and meritorious conduct during the operations before Charleston" and awarded them to enlisted men of his command for gallantry in and around the Charleston area. He commissioned Ball, Black & Company of New York to strike a fine bronze medal in a pattern similar to the British campaign medals of the period. 400 were struck and the awarded medals were named across the top bar to the recipient.
