Five bronze medals for gallantry have been won in Wales in the past three months.

Dr. Joseph Soar, Mus. Doc., the organist of St. David's Cathedral, who has been the honorary secretary of St. David's life-boat station for seventeen years, and Gwilym J. Davies, a member of the crew, each won it for rescuing in the darkness a man who was trapped on the cliffs. David J. Lewis, the second-coxswain, won the thanks on vellum for the same rescue.

Coxswain W. Watts Williams, of St. David's won the medal two months later for a gallant piece of work in heavy weather.

Coxswain Richard Jones, of Holyhead, and John Jones, the motor mechanic, each won it for the rescue of the crew of a steamer which had gone on the rocks in a gale. Heavy seas were breaking over her, a fierce tide was running, and a few hours after the rescue she had disappeared. Each of the other four members of the crew has won the thanks on vellum..
