George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston (1859–1925), who served as a Cabinet Minister (Lord Privy Seal) in the Asquith coalition government, was appointed President of the Air Board on May 15, 1916, in order to give the Air Board greater status in its attempts to reorganize the activities and supply of the Army’s Royal Flying Corps and the Navy’s Royal Navy Air Service. Eberbach’s medal suggests that the disorganization in British air forces would continue to be exploited by the German strategic bombing campaign over England.Death guiding German airships to bomb British factories; within curve: DER BRITENSCHRECK (“Britain’s terror”)
