1918 Birthday Honours (MSM)
This is a list of Meritorious Service Medals (MSM) awarded in the 1918 Birthday Honours.
The 1918 Birthday Honours were appointments by King George V to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of the British Empire. The appointments were made to celebrate the official birthday of The King, and were published in The London Gazette in early June 1918. [1] [2] [3]
