CAUSE OF FREEDOM
MEDALS FOR COURAGE AND SERVICE
London, Aug. 28 His Majesty has instituted two new medals—the King’s Medal for courage in the cause of Freedom and the King’s Medal for Service in the Cause of Freedom. They are intended only for Allied or other foreign subjects, mainly civilians, for services in furtherance of the interests of the British Commonwealth throughout the war. The Medal for Courage is intended for some of those who helped members of the British Forces to escape or evade the enemy in occupied territories and for their services entailing risk to life or dangerous work in hazardous circumstances. The medal for service will be granted in recognition of a variety of civilian services. His Majesty has awarded the first medal for Service to Mr Winthrop Aldrich for his work as president of the British War Relief Society in America.
