WW2 Canadian RCA Efficiency Medal With Canada Bar Grouping BDR D.P. Munro

The WW2 Canadian RCA Efficiency Medal With Canada Bar Grouping BDR D.P. Munro is a military decoration awarded in recognition of long and efficient service within the Canadian Army, specifically to non-commissioned officers and other ranks of the Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA). This grouping includes the Efficiency Medal bearing the effigy of King George VI, as was standard during the Second World War, along with a CANADA bar indicating service with Canadian forces. The medal is officially impressed with the recipient’s details: BDR (Bombardier) D.P. Munro, denoting rank and surname. The Efficiency Medal, instituted in 1930, replaced previous long-service medals and was generally awarded for a minimum of twelve years’ service with added distinctions for particularly meritorious conduct. Such groupings provide insight into individual service records and are valued by collectors for their documentation of Canada’s military history and personal narratives within the RCA during the Second World War.
