Gallantry Awards

In the British and Commonwealth armed forces there has long been a tradition to award medals to those who show gallant and distinguished conduct. In Our Fallen we have noted, wherever possible, those who, as well paying the ultimately sacrifice, were recognised for their bravery. You can find details of the awards, and who earned them.
