The name does not include the rank since there was to be no distinction between sacrifices made by different individuals. Two dolphins swim around Britannia, symbolizing Britain's sea power, and at the bottom a second lion is tearing apart the German eagle. The reverse is blank, making it a plaquette rather than a table medal.
The name omits the rank to emphasize uniformity in sacrifice. Two dolphins symbolize British sea power around Britannia, and at the base, a second lion attacks the German eagle. The reverse lacks content, qualifying it as a plaque rather than a table medal.
