Footnotes

These badges were given as commemorative gifts to personnel and engineers who accompanied the Imperial train on trips. Typically, the reverse side would be engraved with the name of the recipient. Circa 1917, the workshop of Henrik Wigström manufactured a number of such commemorative badges that were left plain and were never awarded.
