- The Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) was (until 1993) the second level military decoration awarded other ranks of the British Army and formerly also to non-commissioned personnel of other Commonwealth countries. The medal was instituted in 1854, during the Crimean War, to recognise gallantry within the other ranks. The medal was the other ranks' equivalent of the Distinguished Service Order when awarded for bravery to commissioned officers, although it ranked well below that order in precedence. Although considered to be the army's second ranking gallantry award, the DCM was almost always seen as a "near miss for the VC". From 1942, members of the Navy and Air Force were entitled to the award. In the aftermath of the 1993 review of the honours system, as part of the drive to remove distinctions of rank in awards for bravery, the DCM was discontinued (along with the award of the DSO for gallantry and the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal). These three decorations were replaced by the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, which now serves as the second level award for gallantry for all ranks across the whole armed forces. Bars were awarded to the DCM in recognition of the performance of further acts of gallantry meriting the award. Recipients are entitled to the post-nominal letters DCM.
- La Medalla de la Conducta Distingida era una condecoració britànica, creada per la Reina Victòria el 4 de desembre de 1854. Era atorgada al personal de l'Exèrcit Britànic (i altres serveis), i països de la Commonwealth, per sota del rang d'oficial comissionat, per la visible valentia en batalla a terra. Va ser creada durant la Guerra de Crimea, i normalment anava acompanyada d'una petita pensió. Era l'equivalent a l'Orde del Servei Distingit, quan aquesta era atorgada als oficials superiors per valentia, si bé se situava entre la Creu de la Força Aèria i la Medalla per la Valentia Demostrada. Els receptors podien fer servir el post-nominal "DCM". Va ser derogada al 1993, sent reemplaçada per la Creu per la Valentia Demostrada, oberta a tots els rangs.
- La Medalla de Conducta Distinguida (MCD) fue hasta 1993 la condecoración militar de segundo nivel jerárquico en el Ejército Británico. Anteriormente también era otorgada al personal no comisionado de otras naciones aliadas. La medalla fue instituida en 1854, durante la Guerra de Crimea, para reconocer un valor especial en el campo militar. Es un disco plateado de 36 milímetros de diámetro con la efigie de Jorge V.
- Cette décoration est créée le 4 décembre 1854 pour la Guerre de Crimée par la reine Victoria. Elle est décernée aux sous-officiers et aux hommes et femmes servant dans toutes les forces armées, pour conduite distinguée en campagne. Elle se situe donc au deuxième rang des décorations reconnaissant la bravoure au combat, juste après la Croix de Victoria (Victoria Cross) pour tout le personnel non-officier de l'Armée, toujours pour conduite distinguée en campagne. Elle précède donc la Médaille militaire. Une barrette en argent ornée de feuilles de laurier est décernée pour toute nouvelle conduite distinguée, selon le système en vigueur pour le DSO ou la MC. En petite tenue, la barrette est représentée par une rosette sur le ruban. Seuls 3 soldats du Commonwealth Britannique ont reçu 2 DCM et un seul soldat en a reçu 2 dans 2 guerres différentes Cette décoration fut attribuée 1 900 fois au cours de la Deuxième guerre mondiale, notamment au colonel John "Johnny" Cooper, le chauffeur de David Stirling en Afrique du Nord. Les récipiendaires peuvent ajouter les lettres DCM après leur nom. Elle a été remplacée en 1993 par la Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
- Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) er en militær dekorasjon for personell i hæren i Storbritannia og (tidligere) Samveldet. Medaljen ble tildelt for tapperhet i strid mot fiender til lands. Den ble innstiftet 4. desember 1854 under Krimkrigen, og ble vanligvis tildelt sammen en liten krigspensjon. Medaljen hadde samme funksjon som offiserenes Distinguished Service Order, selv om den ble rangert langt lavere, mellom Air Force Cross og Conspicuous Gallantry Medal. Etter 1993 er medaljen erstattet av Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC). Denne medaljen kan tildeles soldater og offiserer fra alle våpengrener, og er rett under Victoria Cross i rang. Innehavere av medaljen kunne tilføye bokstavene DCM etter navnet sitt.
