A Superb & Outstanding “Fire Brigade” GEORGE MEDAL (QEII) 1993, with Silver & Golden Jubilee Medals & Fire Brigade Exemplary Service Medal. To: Firefighter DAVID BURNS. West Midlands Fire Service. LONDON GAZETTE, 1st July 1993. (Citation) ”click to enlarge & read” Only just over 2,100 Awards of THE GEORGE MEDAL have been made since it’s inception by King George VI in 1940. In recent years only small numbers have been awarded to either civil or military recipients and of those few, only a minuscule number have ever come to market. This is an exceptional chance to add one of the United Kingdom’s most important & emotive gallantry awards to your collection. Mr Burns was a member of the UK's International Search & Rescue Team (UK-ISAR), responding to local and regional structural collapse incidents as well as major disasters worldwide. For those of you who are serious collectors of Fire Service awards this is a must have medal group and probably a once only opportunity. £6995
