Noonans: The Binney Memorial Medal was founded in memory of Captain Ralph D. Binney, C.B.E., R.N., who gallantly met his death on 8 December 1944 in the City of London, in a valiant and single-handed attempt to stop two thieves who were making their getaway. An annual award, the medal was available to any British citizen, who not being a member of any Police Force, performed a brave act in the support of law and order within the area of operations of the Metropolitan or City of London Police. A Binney Medal may or may not be awarded each calendar year and on occasion two or more medals were awarded for the same incident.
The first medal was issued in 1947
