520 "The first recipient was Flight Sergeant Leslie Wallace, a
wireless operator with 83 Squadron, who extinguished a
major fire in his Lancaster and despite his severe wounds
returned to his radio until the crippled aircraft returned
to England. The final CGM was awarded to Flight Sergeant
John Couglan in Vietnam, when he assisted boarding
casualties in the face of heavy fire from the Vietcong. In
between there are a host of tales that recount incredible
feats of courage.Lengthy appendices list recipients of the
medal and other statistics concerning the award."--
