My Gradfather, Martin Curran was in the Dublin Metropolitan Police, and received this medal, so i have been told by my father and aunt, for being a personal escort to Queen Victoria during her visit to Dublin in 1900. In the Garda Siochana museum in Dublin castle, i spoke to a man there, and he said that this medal was only to commemorate the visit of the queen, and that he felt that maybe my Grandfather was just boasting to his kids, so as to make them pass on their story through the generations. I like to think it is true, because that is what I have been told all my life.
