A draft list of recipients of the Albert Medal (lifesaving), both sea and land awards. Dates are (mostly) date of gazetting not of award, but this isn't really expected to carry over into the final list - it's just for ease of organisation now.
Per this page, there were 70 first-class and 498 second-class awards in total. This seems to be the standard (but somewhat hard to obtain) reference work... Shimgray | talk | 12:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
