rflory Posted 23 October , 2004 Share Posted 23 October , 2004 John: These go by various names: Gallantry Cards, Card of Honour for Gallantry, Gallantry Diploma, etc. and were awarded by regimental, division and corps commanders for gallant acts not deemed appropriate for a formal award or decoration. Below is a scan of a Gallantry Card awarded by the GOC 29th Division to Lt Col E. R. Burne for gallantry at Cambrai. Regards. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
