DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The Distinguished Conduct Medal was instituted in particular recognition of the gallant exploits of soldiers serving in the Crimea, but was awarded for distinguished conduct in later conflicts too; it was discontinued only in 1993.
Precise dating of this medal is difficult, beyond the fact that it is an issue of George V's reign. The recipient was Private J. Miller of the 6th Somerset Light Infantry, and it is likely that he was awarded the medal for actions in the Great War. It was acquired by Lester Watson at some point before 1928.
