The Australian Natural History Medallion is awarded each year by the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria (FNCV) to the person judged to have made the most meritorious contribution to the understanding of Australian Natural History.
 The idea originated with J. K. Moir, a book collector and member of the Bread and Cheese Club.
 Moir wrote to the FNCV in 1939 suggesting that such a medallion should be awarded to a person who had performed, in his words, ‘a signal service’ to the protection of flora and fauna—‘a variation of the Nobel awards’.
 Nominations for the Medallion are made by field naturalist clubs and kindred bodies from all over Australia, each nomination being valid for a three-year period.
 The Medallion has usually been awarded annually since 1940.
 In that time, recipients have been honoured for their work in many fields of natural history studies, and have come from every state and territory in Australia.
Bloody Sunday – sometimes called the Bogside Massacre – was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland, when British soldiers shot 28 unarmed civilians during a peaceful protest march against internment.
 Fourteen people died: thirteen were killed outright, while the death of another man four months later was attributed to his injuries.
 Many of the victims were shot while fleeing from the soldiers and some were shot while trying to help the wounded.
 Other protesters were injured by rubber bullets or batons, and two were run down by army vehicles.
 The march had been organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA).
 The soldiers involved were members of the 1st Battalion, Parachute Regiment, also known as "1 Para".
The Azarabadegan Medal was founded by Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, on 12 December 1946.
 In November 1945, the Azerbaijani Democratic Party formed a short-lived Soviet Union puppet state in Iranian Azerbaijan with Ja'far Pishevari as president.
 However, with the support of the United States and Britain, the Iranian army reentered Tabriz and dissolved the Azerbaijan People's Government.
 The Shah awarded the medal to the military soldiers involved in the battle.
The Mogadishu Mile refers to a route that was run by United States Army Rangers and Delta Force soldiers from a helicopter crash site to an appointed rally point held by the 10th Mountain Division on National Street during the Battle of Mogadishu on October 4, 1993.
 The U.S. soldiers involved were part of Task Force Ranger, an attempt to seize two lieutenants of warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
 Originally they were supposed to take cover by running alongside a convoy of Humvees and armored personnel carriers, however when the convoy failed to understand that vehicles were needed for cover, they left them and the soldiers were forced to run without support and with very little ammunition.
The Fidelity Medallion is the oldest decoration of the United States military and was created by act of the Continental Congress in 1780.
 Also known as the "André Capture Medal", the Fidelity Medallion was awarded to those soldiers who participated in the capture of Major John André, of the British army, who had been the contact to Benedict Arnold and had helped organize his defection.
John André (2 May 1750 – 2 October 1780) was a British Army officer hanged as a spy by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War for assisting Benedict Arnold's attempted surrender of the fort at West Point, New York to the British.
The Tiglachin monument (Amharic: ትግላችን, English: "Our Struggle") is a memorial to Ethiopian and Cuban soldiers involved in the Ogaden War.
 It was built under Mengistu Haile Mariam on Churchill Avenue in Addis Ababa.
 (It is sometimes erroneously called the "Derg Monument", but the monument does not honor the Derg regime.)
 The monument is composed of various elements: a central statue, a 50 m tall pillar, two wall reliefs on the sides and two squares where the portraits of Cuban soldiers are visible.
The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed while serving, on or after April 5, 1917, with the U.S. military.
 With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members – the only earlier award being the obsolete Fidelity Medallion.
 The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is located in New Windsor, New York.
The Badge of Military Merit is considered the first military award of the United States Armed Forces.
 Although the Fidelity Medallion is older, after being issued to three soldiers for a specific event in 1780 it was never awarded again, so the Badge of Military Merit is often considered the oldest.
 The Purple Heart is the official successor decoration of the Badge of Military Merit.
"Christmas in the Trenches" is a ballad from John McCutcheon's 1984 Album "Winter Solstice".
 It tells the story of the 1914 Christmas Truce between the British and German lines on the Western Front during the Great War from the perspective of a fictional British soldier.
 Although Francis Tolliver is a fictional character, the event depicted in the ballad is true.
 John McCutcheon met some of the German soldiers involved in this Christmas story when he toured in Denmark.
