The GC is the highest gallantry award for civilians, as well as for members of the armed forces in actions for which purely military honours would not normally be granted. The George Cross was instituted on 24 September 1940 by King George VI. At this time, during the height of the Blitz, there was a strong desire to reward the many acts of civilian courage. The existing awards open to civilians were not judged suitable to meet the new situation, therefore it was decided that the George Cross and the George Medal would be instituted to recognise both civilian gallantry in the face of enemy action and brave deeds more generally. This is full size copy medal with ribbon It is currently awarded for acts of the greatest heroism of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger The medal does have the word copy written on it     THE MILITARY CROSS High military award for Acts of Gallantry during active operations against the enemy  There were approx 37 000 medals awarded during WW1  Medal was instituted in 1914 Following the 1993 review MC became avaliable to all ranks of all services - RN, RM, Army and RAF Medal has ornamental cross in silver, with straight arms terminating in broad finals ornamented with Imperial Crowns.
