Military Medal

This medal was instituted on 25 March 1916, recognizing a gap in the system of awards for non-commissioned soldiers. The medal was awarded to "Warrant Officers, non-commissioned officers and men for individual or associated acts of bravery on the recommendation of a Commander-in-Chief in the field."

Canadians have received 13,654 medals for both World Wars and Korea, plus 848 first bars and 38 second bars. One of these 38 went to a member of the 10th Battalion.

During the battle for Hill 70 in 1917, no less than sixty members of the 10th Battalion were decorated with the Military Medal.

The Military Medal was replaced in 1972 when the Canadian Honours System was introduced, replacing many of the former British Empire/British Commonwealth awards currently in use by the Canadian Government and Department of National Defence.

The following awards were made to members of the 10th Battalion, CEF, and The Calgary Highlanders.
