Book Synopsis
In 1974 the Queen's Gallantry Medal was instituted to replace awards for gallantry in the Order of the British Empire for actions not quite meriting the award of the George Medal. Since then it has been awarded on 1,044 occasions, which includes 38 posthumous awards and 19 second awards.

Trade Review
'I consider this fine book to be a deserved tribute to all recipients of the QGM. I commend it to all.' (Sir Ronnie Flanagan GBE, QPM.) '..a "must have" for the medal enthusiast and student of the better aspects of human nature. The author is to be congratulated on a most remarkable and valuable work.' (Professor Bernard de Neumann.) 'The book is a must for any recipient of the QGM, for which it will be a wonderful memento, for medal aficionado's, and for anyone who has an interest in the many and varied stories that resulted in the award.' (S. P. Holmes QGM.)
