To be '''Mentioned in Despatches''' is a minor [[British]] military award for gallantry or meritorious service. It is of a lower level than a gallantry medal, but a decoration of a spray of oak leaves in bronze is awarded. If a campaign medal was issued for the campaign during which the Mention occurred the decoration is worn on the ribbon of that medal; otherwise it is worn on the left breast of the uniform.
