The George Medal is awarded by the United Kingdom and Commonwealth of Nations for acts of great bravery; over 2,000 medals have been awarded since its inception in September 1940.
Below is set out a selection of recipients of the award, since 1990.
A person's presence in this list does not suggest their award was more notable than any other award of the George Medal.
Where a recipient has received a second GM, a picture of the ribbon bearing the bar symbol is shown.
In December 1977 the provisions for the medal were altered, allowing it to be awarded posthumously,[1] in which case the "†" symbol appears next to the recipient's name.
