Raggie was awarded 5 medals!
In the summer of 1916, Lord Middleton and his horses were separated. Middleton had to return to India and the horses were sent to one of the remount stations. Raggie was sent to a cavalry regiment; ironically, it was the one to which he had originally been assigned. He recognized some of the men and horses that were still in the regiment.
When the war was over, Raggie was used as a polo pony. It was at one of these matches that Middleton saw Raggie again and was able to purchase him.
However, Raggie's military career was not over. Middleton was serving with the 10th Lancers in 1918 when an Arab rebellion broke out and Middleton rode Raggie. Many of the horses that served in this military action died from exhaustion, but Raggie's stamina and Arabian blood kept him alive.
Raggie went on to serve as Middleton's mount in the Governor's Bodyguard as a trumpeter's mount. He often escorted the state carriage at important functions. After a brief separation in 1923 when Middleton returned to England, Raggie was reunited with Middleton and spent the rest of his life with him. Raggie was awarded five medals for his service in the war—three for the Great War service, one for the Arab rebellion, and one for long service and good conduct.
