Award of King's Medal. edit
I have amended the article to show Ann Wood-Kelly as a recipient of the King's Medal for Service in the Cause of Freedom, not Courage.
After World War II the British awarded two distinct medals to non-British and Commenwealth ciitizens for contributing to the Allied cause:
Most sources refer to Ann Wood-Kelly receiving the "King's Medal" without specifying which one, (e.g. her Guardian Obituary).
She is however photographed wearing the ribbon bar of the King's Medal for Service in the Cause of Freedom. This would appear right, as the "Courage" medal was awarded mostly to resistance members who worked at direct risk of being captured, imprisoned and possibly executed by the enemy, with the "Service" medal mainly for support for the British effort behind the front line - with service with the Air Transport Auxiliary an example of this.
