The Churchill Medal is an emblem of excellence in engineering and technical advancement, awarded annually for engineering and innovation in the Armed Forces and the MOD.
The medal dates back to 1952 when Sir Winston Churchill gave his name to the award to recognise engineering contributions during World War II.
Medal recipients and finalists have left an indelible mark in their respective domains and enriched the entire engineering world.
