The UK has announced the latest gallantry awards for active service across the globe, including a VC and George Cross. Also for the first time an MC has been won by a young 19-year old women serving in the Medical Corps. Link below.

One of the awardees is a Major William David CHESAREK United States Marine Corps, who received The Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). One can only surmise that he was either on an exchange program with the UK military, or through his actions, saved the life of UK personnel. Does anyone know under what circumstances a serving soldier/aviator/sailor is eligible to receive a gallantry medal from another nation?
