The George Medal, along with the George Cross, was instituted by
His Majesty King George VI on 24th September 1940. His desire, that
the many acts of bravery being performed on home soil, in a type of
warfare never experienced before, and primarily by civilians for
whom military awards were inappropriate, was the driving force
behind their creation.The medal has been awarded to civilians and
military personnel over the past 75 years, all of whose names are
contained within this register.Never before has a register of the
George Medal been produced that presents the information behind the
awards. It stands as a testament to the selfless acts performed by
the men and women within its pages.
