The Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) was instituted in 1854 during the Crimean War and is the oldest British award for gallantry.
It was awarded to non commissioned officers and other ranks of the Army for distinguished conduct in the field. Over 500 DCMs have been awarded to New Zealanders, the most recent being in Vietnam.
In 1993, the DCM was replaced in the UK by the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Receipiants are entitled to use the post nominal letters DCM.
It is no longer awarded in New Zealand since the introduction of New Zealand's own system of Gallantry and Bravery awards in 1999.
