To the foreign honours conferred on the Institution on the occasion of its Centenary has now to be added a silver medal from Greece. On 12th January of this year the Naval A.D.C. to the Greek President wrote : " The President has proposed and obtained that the Silver Medal of the Greek Caisse of Naval Invalides, granted exclusively as a reward to those who risk their life at sea for the safety of men in danger, should be con- ferred on the Royal National Life-boat Institution, in token of high esteem of its humane and gallant work."
