To be awarded the West Indies
Campaign Medal, a service member must have performed sea duty in the West Indies between 1 May 1898 and 16 August 1898. The award was a one time decoration only and there were no devices authorized for multiple engagements or combat participation. The decoration was

Campaign Medal were permitted to exchange the decoration for the
741:

for West Indies service, and Navy regulations prohibited the bestowal of both the
Sampson Medal and West Indies Campaign Medal for the same period of duty.
