Medal of Bravery (Iraq)

The Medal of Bravery (Arabic: النوط الشجعة, al-Nut al-Shujat) was a medal awarded by the First Republic of Iraq and Ba'athist Iraq to Iraqi military personnel for brave acts in war.[1] It was awarded in many of Iraq's military conflicts.

History

The medal was instated in 1958, during the rule of Abdul-Karim Qasim.[1] The medal has changed appearance twice, although the shape has stayed largely the same since 1958.[1] It changed once in 1963 and again in 1990.[1]
