M.M (Military Medal)

The Military Medal was instituted in 1916 during the First World War, and is awarded to non-commissioned officers and men of the New Zealand Army for acts of bravery. Bars may be awarded for subsequent acts. Despite the fact that this medal was only instituted halfway through the war, over 115,000 medals had been awarded by 1919, 2066 being awarded to the New Zealand Expeditionary Force.

Medals are named in impressed capitals.
