The Bronze Medal of Military Valor ((イタリア語:Medaglia di bronzo al Valore Militare)) is an Italian medal for gallantry. It was established by Charles Albert of Sardinia on 26 March 1833, along with the higher ranking Gold and Silver Medals for Military valor.〔see http://bibliogo.ccm.it/index.php?page=View.DocDetail&id=742193 which describes the book ''"Le medaglie d'oro al valor militare: volume primo, Roma, (Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militare d'Italia ), 1965, 804 p.; 22 cm''" 〕 These medals, as well as the "Croce di Guerra al Valor Militare" (War Cross of Military Valor - which can only be awarded in time of war) are established by the Royal Decree of 4 November 1932, in which their purpose is defined as "To distinguish and publicly honor the authors of heroic military acts, even ones performed in time of peace, provided that the exploit is closely connected with the purposes for which the Armed Forces are constituted, whatever may be the condition or quality of the author."〔official website of the Italian Presidency http://www.quirinale.it/qrnw/statico/onorificenze/cennistorici/medagliacrocevm.htm 〕 During the First World War, the medal was given out some 60,244 times for individual acts of heroism (compared to 38,614 Silver medals and 368 Gold Medals).〔"Nel 1° Centenario della istituzione della Medaglia al Valor Militare" edizione del 1933 dell' Ufficio storico dell' esercito 〕 ==Notable recipients== *Ernesto Burzagli *Hans-Werner Kraus *Pedro del Valle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bronze Medal of Military Valor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
