Does anyone have access to records concerning the George VI Coronation Medal of 1937? As a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire I'd be surprised if Maud McCarthy was not awarded the medal. But I can't tell from the photo whether she is wearing it.  What a remarkable lady and I'm hoping to improve her bio even more.

It doesn't appear that she did.  She certainly attended the Coronation, but no source for receiving the award). Here is a great article (at the conclusion, it states the many awards she received.

I hope this helps.
