The inscription on the flag of the trumpet alludes to the
short duration of the fight and its entire success. The mention
of the Duke’s vigilance refers to the cautious and compact
disposition of his army, whereby he protected it against any
sudden attack, and defeated an attempt to surprise him at
Nairn. The Duke of Cumberland was born on the 15th April,
1721; the battle was therefore fought on the first day of his
26th year.

This medal has an ornamental border and a ring for suspension,
and was probably given to officers who were present
at the battle. . Apollo is the Duke of Cumberland, and the
Dragon is the rebellion, overthrown by the battle of Culloden.
The legend either bids the Pretender to depart, as the rebellion
has been suppressed, or else it may infer that the army, having
defeated the rebels, has now finished its work.
