Instituted in 1939 by King George VI as the King's Commendation for Valuable Service, the King's
Commendation for Valuable Service acknowledged brave acts by civilians and members of the
military in non-warlike circumstances during a time of war or in peacetime where the action would
not otherwise be recognised by an existing award. In 1954 it became the Queen's Commendation
for Brave Conduct. The award was replaced in 1994 by the Queen's Commendation for Bravery.
