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 and
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 (medals
awarded to foreign NCOs and soldiers were
issued unnamed).
The unnamed examples of the medal are
scarce.
