Clarke Medal for Bravery

[Tiger-pie]

The Clarke medal is awarded by the Governor General once a year for the most outstanding act of bravery among those who have been nominated for bravery. The medal was instituted in 1881 and more than one medal may be awarded annually where the Court is unable to decide between the two cases. See link below for a more indepth description.

I wasn't aware that they still awarded this type of medal here in Australia, I thought it was one of those institutions that had gone by the wayside. I was casting around the net for somthing completely different and found these sites. Glad to see that it still exists.
