The Galleghan Award
The Galleghan Award was instituted in 1996 and recognises what the Society considers to have been the most outstanding act of bravery in the year.
It is designated by a bar reading "Galleghan Award" affixed to the ribbon of the medal award.
The award is named after Brigadier Sir Frederick Galleghan DSO OBE ISO ED, who was the Society's Secretary from 1958 until his death in 1971.
Sir Frederick was twice wounded in the Great War, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in the Second World War for his leadership and gallantry when commanding the 2/30th Battalion at the battle of Gemas in Malaya.
