The first recipient was Flight Sergeant Leslie Wallace, a wireless
operator with 83 Squadron, who extinguished a major fire in his
Lancaster and despite his severe wounds returned to his radio until
the crippled aircraft returned to England. The final CGM was awarded
to Flight Sergeant John Couglan in Vietnam, when he assisted boarding
casualties in the face of heavy fire from the Vietcong. In between
there are a host of tales that recount incredible feats of
courage.Lengthy appendices list recipients of the medal and other
statistics concerning the award.
