Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct

Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct

The Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct replaced the King's Commendation for Brave Conduct instituted by King George VI in 1939.

It is a gallantry award which recognises acts of bravery in non operational situations entailing risk to life.

The recipient of the award is entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf , similar to that worn for the mention in despatches, on the relevant campaign or war medal.

The award was replaced in 1994 by the Queen's Commendation for Bravery.
