	Austro-Hungarian Army - Golden Bravery Medal Winners
		The dimensions of World War I were, regarding the length of time and the number of engaged troops so large that it became obvious that the Golden and the two Silver Bravery Medals were not sufficient to honour all the heroic acts of the non-commissioned personnel.
		To that end the Bronze Bravery Medal was instituted on the 14th of February 1915 and finally the bars for repeat awards (Wiederholungsspangen) on the 29th of November 1915.
		Another reason why the bars for Golden Bravery Medals were so rare, especially by non aviation personnel, was that this medal was often awarded posthumously or after the man received serious wounds during the particular action.
