Honours and awards gazetted from the Crimean War in 1854 until 1914 and then 1920 until 1939. This book looks at the Honours and Awards bestowed on the soldiers, sailors and, later, airmen who fought in this period. From the institution of the Distinguished Conduct Medal, the first dedicated gallantry medal for other ranks in 1854 through the introduction of the Albert Medal and the recognition that gallantry doesn’t have to come whilst facing an enemy and on to medals awarded for gallantry in the skies – all the major awards that were “Gazetted” in the London Gazette during the time periods specified are covered.
