- William Simpson McAloney GC, OBE (12 May 1910 – 31 August 1995) was an Australian recipient of the Albert Medal, formerly the highest decoration for gallantry awarded to civilians or to military personnel for actions "not in the face of the enemy" in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. An aircraftman in the Royal Australian Air Force, McAloney was decorated with the Albert Medal after he attempted to rescue an officer trapped in the flaming wreckage of an aircraft. With the establishment of the George Cross, the Albert Medal was discontinued and, in 1971, living recipients of the decoration were invited to exchange their medal for the George Cross; McAloney took up the offer and formally became a recipient of the George Cross.
