Distinguished Conduct Medal
The DCM was awarded to Warrant Officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, serving in any of the sovereign's military forces, for distinguished conduct in the field. It was thus the second highest award for gallantry in action (after the Victoria Cross) for all army ranks below commissioned officers and was available to navy and air force personnel also for distinguished conduct in the field. Additional awards of the DCM, like all gallantry awards, were marked with the addition of a Bar worn on the ribbon of the original award. The Bar awarded to 2nd Lt Gardner is missing from this image. -
