Military Medal Recipients -- Clan MacKay, WWI
The Military Medal
Military Medal
The Military Medal (MM), a circular silver medal suspended on a
dark blue ribbon with three white and two crimson stripes centred
and alternating, was awarded to non-commissioned officers and
other ranks "For Bravery in the Field." It was the third highest
gallantry medal in precedence after the VC and Distinguished
Conduct Medal (DCM). MM citations were not normally published in
the London Gazette and thus, most remain in obscurity, unless
kept with the original award by the recipient or noted somewhere
in an out-of-date regimental history. Between 1916 and 1922, the
MM was awarded to 12,321 Canadian soldiers, of whom 44 (two won
it twice) were MacKay or
MacKie
clansfolk.
