It indicates that the recipient was cited for gallantry in an official report submitted by a superior officer. It was instituted in the First World War and issued up until 1920. It was worn on the Victory Medal ribbon or, if no Victory Medal was awarded, on the British War Medal ribbon.

A smaller version of the oak leaf spray is worn on a ribbon bar.
