This medal is named "The George Medal", not George Medal. It states on the warrant: It is ordained that the Medal shall be designated and styled "The George Medal." The Medal also bears the words, "The George Medal" Thanks, Vera, Chuck & Dave 18:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
The Name of this Medal is "The George Medal". [1] NOT "George Medal". Also, it is not a Silver Disk, it is a Circular Silver Medal. Vera, Chuck & Dave 23:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
By what standard are these recipients notable? This should either become a full list of recipients or be removed. If you win the GM then you have a certain notability because of the award. Fiddle Faddle 15:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank goodness. I'm here because Nancy Wake has died in the last 48 hours an I followed the link to check on what was said here about her . My initial response to "Notable recipients" was exactly the same as those opinions expressed above. So I am going to change it to recipients when the list become too large it should be moved out into a new article "List of recipients of the George Medal" -- PBS ( talk) 10:08, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
The list appears to be in a random order. Can I suggest it's done alphabetically. JRPG ( talk) 17:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Is there information available about procedures for it to be taken back from a disgraced recipient? It certainly happened to Terry Lewis (police officer); it appears possible this is unique, but there isn't really a basis for describing it as such. For the VC, there is a clear rule based on royal insistence that it could be worn even on the scaffold. I don't think there's anything to say the QGM was stripped from the Donald Neilson arresting officer who was later convicted, although the medal itself ended up for auction.

Although the original text of the warrant reads "Fifthly: It is ordained that the Medal shall be awarded only for acts of great. bravery", and the 1977 changes extended this with "...and that the Medal may be awarded posthumously." it had been awarded posthumously previously. Researching a relative - a surgeon killed in enemy action in Dover in April 1942 - I discovered that he had been awarded The George Medal in August 1942. I assume that it was therefore not a prohibition, but the lack of an explicit inclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.124.128 ( talk) 19:29, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
