It can be awarded to all ranks and may be awarded posthumously. While not designed specifically as a bravery award, the first awards of this medal reflect a high degree of diplomacy and bravery. The medal is a Greek cross of silver, ends splayed and convexed, ensigned with the Royal Crown. The Cross is 1-½ inches across and between the arms of the Cross is laurel wreath. In the centre of the cross is a maple leaf within a circle. The ribbon is 1 ½ inches wide, bright blue with two white stripes ¼ inches wide positioned 1/8 inch from each edge. A plain silver bar with a maple leaf in the centre can be awarded for a subsequent action deserving of this medal. The recipient may use the post nominal letters MSC. On 6 June 1991, a Civil division was added to the MSC (Military). The Civil Cross is identical to the Military Cross but the ribbon has a 1cm central white stripe added. The Civil Cross is awarded to any person (Canadian or non-Canadian) for the performance of a deed or activity in an outstandingly professional manner or of an uncommonly high standard that brings considerable benefit or great honour to Canada. The MSC is worn after the Star of Courage. MERITORIOUS SERVICE MEDAL (MSM) The Meritorious Service Medal was instituted in 1991 with a military and civil division. The military MSM is awarded for the performance of a military deed or a military activity in a highly professional manner of a very high standard that it brings benefit to, or honour to the Canadian Forces. It can be awarded to all ranks and may be awarded posthumously. The civil MSM is awarded for the performance of a deed or activity in a highly professional manner of a very high standard that brings benefit or honour to Canada. The Medal is a silver medal, circular in shape and ensigned with the Royal Crown. On the obverse is the design of the cross. On the reverse is the Royal Cypher and within a double circle the works “MERITORIOUS SERVICE MERITOIRE”. A plain silver bar with a maple leaf in the centre is awarded for subsequent awards of the medal. The Ribbon (military) is bright blue with two 6mm wide white stripes, having a blue stripe 1mm wide in its centre, centered on the outer third of each side of the ribbon. The civil MSM ribbon has a 1mm central white stripe but otherwise is similar to the military MSM ribbon. The MSM is worn after the Medal of Bravery. 2 MERITORIOUS SERVICE CROSS (Military Division) MSC To CANADIAN FORCES MILITARY MEMBERS CANADA GAZETTE NAME RANK POSITION DECORATIONS 02/11/85 ABBOTT, Larry Douglas Sergeant Military Police - Beirut MSC CD 29/11/08 ABBOUD, Joseph Antoine Dave Major CO ‘B’ Coy R22eR JTF Afghanistan MSC MMV MSM CD 14/05/94 ALLEN, Robin Wendall Captain(N) Somalia - HMCS Preserver OMM MSC CD 07/10/95 ALMSTROM, John Albin Colonel UNNPROFOR - OPSO MSC CD 01/07/89 ANNAND, John Andrew Colonel UNIIMOG - Commander OMM MSC CD 07/10/00 ARMSTRONG, Arthur Graham Colonel CF Attaché Belgrade MSC CD 10/10/87 AUBIN, Joseph Norbert Raymond Robert Captain CFB Gander - Arrow Air MSC 16/06/18 ARCHER, John M/Cpl Revolutionary Data Extraction CanSofCom MSC 13/08/11 ARSENAULT, Timothy Maurice Major OC ‘B’ Coy R22eR Battle Group MSC MSM CD 27/03/10 BAINES, Craig Alan Commander CO HMCS Winnipeg CMM MSC CD 19/04/08 BAISLEY, Mark Leslie CWO RSM 2 nd RCR JTF Afghanistan MMM MSC CD 19/04/08 BARTLETT, Wayne Allan CWO RSM OMLETTE JTF Afghanistan MMM MSC CD NG 2006x BEAUDETTE, Michael (‘Mike’) J.
