Great Britain: WW1 Military Medal - King George V
issue.
Unnamed, as issued to foreign recipients.
The Military Medal (MM) was established in 1916
by King George V, for bravery in battle on land
and specifically for "acts of gallantry & devotion
to duty under fire". It was awarded to personnel
of the British Army (NCOs and other ranks) and
also to personnel of the British Commonwealth
and Allied Countries.
The MM was equivalent to the Military Cross for
the non commissioned ranks and second to the
Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM).
This medal was awarded to a French recipient
(2400 medals were awarded to French troops
during WW1).
The medal is unnamed as issued (all medals
awarded to foreign NCOs and soldiers were
issued unnamed).
The unnamed examples of the medal are scarce.
