This
medal is a reproduction mini distinguished Conduct Medal. The medals have
always been issued named, and would carry the number, rank and name of the
recipient on the rim, together with the date of the act of gallantry, from
1881 until about 1901. Bars were given for subsequent awards and these too
were dated from the first issued in 1881 until 1916 when the more usual
laurelled bars were adopted. The medal is 19mm wide and is made from lead-free pewter and
silver plated.
The
card has a colour painting of huge explosions along German trenches as the
British Army wait to advance on the front and historical information on the back.
