I could look it up but...

Anyone know when the MC began to be awarded to ORs and NCOs? I assume the MM is no longer awarded.

It would also be interesting to know under what circumstances the Queen's Gallantry Medal was awarded. Perhaps for acts while not under enemy fire? I'm not familiar with the award criteria, except that it is referred to as a 'civil award'.

The regulations for the MC were changed in 1993 and the MM disbanded.

For the QGM have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Gallantry_Medal

Thank you, Turtle. I had located the Wiki entry on the QGM but no citations.
