astro Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi all, very new to the forum, so sorry if I am not too clued up on the different terminology of the forum, but here goes. I have inherited a medal from my grandfather. It is in 100% mint condition with Navy / Royal Blue ribbons and four clasps or hooks attached. the medal says in a circle in the centre THE INSTITUTE OF CIVIL DEFENCE. Then under that it says FOUNDED 1938. On the reverse of the medal it says 'Awarded for services rendered (31). I was just wondering if anyone has any more information of this medal as it was not my grandfathers as he inherited it from a gentleman my grandmother worked for. Many thanks in advance Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I wonder what services one would render to be eligible for that very attractive medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I must be honest and say that I've never even heard of this Group. They must be like an advisory body now. Steve - not sure if we welcomed you to GMIC - keep the questions coming. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
