The Commendation for Gallantry is a distinguished award given to Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel who have displayed extraordinary bravery in combat or under dangerous circumstances. The award recognizes individuals who have acted courageously to protect the lives of others, even when faced with significant personal risk.
Eligibility
The Commendation for Gallantry is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional bravery, resourcefulness, and determination while serving in combat operations or other hazardous situations. The award is also given to those who have acted bravely in non-combat situations, such as during natural disasters, hostage situations, or terrorist attacks.
Design
The award features a gold-plated insignia of the Federation Star set in the centre of a row of flames. The insignia is mounted on a plain orange ribbon. A miniature version is worn on the ribbon bar.
SPECIFICATIONS:Every replica medal can be supplied loose or mounted ready to wear. Here's how the options differ, so you can choose the right one.
The medals are fixed to a stiff backing board so they sit flat and stay in line while worn. It's the neatest presentation, and serving members of the Australian Defence Force are required to wear their medals court mounted.
Each medal hangs freely from its ribbon below a top bar. This was the usual style from the Boer War through to World War II, and there are no fixed rules about who can wear it.
Just the ribbons, mounted in order of precedence on a small bar. Ribbon bars are worn on uniform day to day, when full medals would be impractical.
The medal and ribbon come as separate parts, ready for you or your mounter to assemble. Full size medals come with 30cm of ribbon and miniatures with 15cm.
Miniatures are mounted the same way at a smaller scale. They're worn at evening and formal events, generally anything after 6pm such as dinners, where full size medals would be impractical.
Every style comes with a traditional pin or a magnetic fitting. Magnetic mounts hold firmly without putting holes in your jacket or uniform, and are easier to put on and take off, which helps anyone with limited dexterity.
