B.A. (Cantab). Awarded Albert Medal (A.M.). Commemorated on PORTSMOUTH NAVAL MEMORIAL, Hampshire. Panel 60, Column 3.

Note: The Albert Medal (AM) was introduced on 7th March 1866, and was named after Queen Victoria's husband and consort Price Albert who died on 14th December 1861 at Windsor. A royal warrant issued in 1867 created two classes of AM: 1st and 2nd class. Ten years later, in 1877, the warrant was altered to allow the saving of life on land to be recognised by the award of the Albert Medal.

The AM was an oval medal, 57 millimetres high and 30 millimetres wide. The early issues were gold and bronze, the later issues were either gold (1st class) or bronze (2nd class). The AM's (gold 1st class) ribbon was originally blue with two white stripes, but was changed to a wider blue ribbon with four white stripes. The AM 2nd class inherited the original ribbon size with two white stripes. In 1904 the 2nd class AM changed the ribbon size to that of the 1st class AM, while retaining the 2nd class two white stripes.

The AM's obverse consist of a letter "V" (for Victoria) entwined with a letter "A" for Albert. AM's issued for gallantry at sea also have an anchor. The obverse has the words "For Gallantry in Saving Life" with "At Sea" or "on Land" added as appropriate.

In 1917 the title was altered producing the Albert Medal in gold (formerly the AM 1st Class) and the Albert Medal (formerly the 2nd class bronze medal).

In 1949 the Albert Medal in Gold was replaced by the George Cross. The Albert Medal, now only issued in bronze, was only awarded posthumously. In 1971, the Albert Medal was ceased and all living recipients were invited to exchange their Albert Medals for the George Cross.
