  • WO 3911854-1998War Office: Military Secretary's Honours and Awards Branch: Distinguished Conduct Medal Register

    The methods of keeping the register have varied, but since the outbreak of the First World War have relied on extracts from the London Gazette pasted into specially made volumes.

    The announcements relating to the First World War have been taken from 'advance copies' of the London Gazette and contain some information on units which was removed for security reasons before publication. Manuscript annotations record, in a large number of cases between 1914 and 1918, the date and place of the action for which the award was made.

    Please Note: Some Gazettes also include entries for awards of Victoria Cross.
