Civilan Gallantry July 2018
20th July 2018
All members of the League will no doubt be pleased to read of the names of those who received The George Medal, The Queen’s Gallantry Medal and The Queen’s Commendation for Bravery in the civilian gallantry list released on 19 July. These awards for courageous action, in the most difficult situations, recognise the selfless acts of members of the civilian services and the public in confronting armed terrorists and individuals, or rescuing others in grave danger. Sadly, several of the awards are made posthumously. As members of the League we are proud of them all and hope to welcome them into the League in due course.
