Bars were awarded for subsequent acts of valor. Until 1942, Victoria Cross medallions were made from the bronze of cannons captured in the Crimean War. The escalation of the First World War after the deadlock of 1914 led the British military to recognize the need for a more definitive hierarchy of awards for gallantry in action.

A 'second class' variation, named simply The George Medal, had its bronze medallion hung from a blue ribbon with two broad white stripes, was for saving life at sea that didn't quite qualify as 'extreme or heroic daring.'
Two "land" variations were also created for saving life on land. The land versions followed the same criteria but had red ribbons with white stripes. As a life-saving medal, this was not limited to war-time awards or combat action, but George Medal were awarded during the war. Awards were discontinued in 1971, with the George Medal taking its place.
