	Gallantry Medals
		Until the establishment of the government's own gallantry awards for saving life, it was left entirely to private individuals and companies to provide their own recognition to those people who risked their own life to save other people.
		The CGC is a cross (maximum width of 36 millimetres) imposed on a wreath of laurel, with the royal crown in a circular panel in the centre.
		The Conspicuous Gallantry Medal for the Royal Air Force is identical to the Royal Navy CGM, except the colour of the ribbon worn with the medal.

		In 1855, the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (CGM) was introduced as the Naval equivalent to the DCM, to be awarded to the other ranks in the Royal Navy.
		In 1856 the Victoria Cross (VC) was instituted for this purpose and it remains the premier award for gallantry for the UK Armed Forces.
		A significant review of gallantry awards was undertaken by the Government in 1993, which resulted in an end to the two-tier system whereby one type of medal would be issued to officers and a different type to the other ranks.
