The Medal of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for Gallantry, known as the Empire Gallantry Medal (EGM), was a British medal awarded for acts of gallantry. Unlike the then existing Sea Gallantry Medal (SGM) (1854), the Albert Medal (AM) (1866) and the Edward Medal (EM) (1907) which each had two classes with restricted eligibility criteria, the EGM was a single class award with wide eligibility. It was instituted by King George V on 29 December 1922. In July 1937, recipients were granted the right to use the post-nominal letters "EGM". The EGM was superseded in 1940 by the George Cross which was also a single class award with wide eligibility but unlike the low placed EGM on the Order of Wear, the George Cross was listed immediately after the Victoria Cross. The EGM was a medal of the Order of the British Empire and like the Order itself, was divided into civil and military divisions, but unlike the British Empire Medal (BEM), officers were eligible for the medal. (en) De Empire Gallantry Medal ( Nederlands: "Medaille van het Keizerrijk voor Moed") was een aan de Orde van het Britse Rijk verbonden medaille. De ronde zilveren medaille was een versie van de aan de orde verbonden Medaille van het Britse Rijk en onderscheidde zich door de inscriptie "For Valour" op de keerzijde. Het lint was dat van de Orde van het Britse Rijk. De voor dapperheid verleende onderscheiding was erg in aanzien. Haar plaats werd later ingenomen door het in 1940 ingestelde George Cross. Op de voorzijde van de oorspronkelijke medaille is de gehelmde en gewapende Britannia, zinnebeeld van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, afgebeeld. Boven haar schijnt een zon. Het ontwerp werd in de 19 jaar van haar bestaan wel gewijzigd. De Empire Gallantry Medal werd slechts 112 maal toegekend. De medaille was gelijk in rang aan de Albert Medal voor het redden van levens op zee of op het land. De Britse regering kende de medaille toe voor daden die van de hoogste graad van moed getuigden. Dat gold voor burgers en ook voor militairen die hun moed hadden bewezen zonder oog in oog met de vijand te staan. De dragers mochten de letters "EGM" achter hun naam voeren. Op 24 september 1940 werd de medaille weer afgeschaft. (nl) |
