[QUOTE="shehamore, post: 42679, member: 115"] I fully understand his selling the medals to make his retirement easier but it is sad all the same that he feels that he has to. The Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) which was only awarded to non commissioned soldiers was replaced in 1993 along with the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) which was awarded only to officers with the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC) which is awarded to all ranks. This however doesn't in any way lessen the award to Melville Townsend or any others awarded the DCM. [/QUOTE]
