Hello Valerii,
Many thanks for your post hopefully the following will answer your question about the British Defence Medal :
"The qualifying dates for this cupro-nickel medal were 3rd September 1939 to 2nd September 1945 and contrary to popular belief, was harder to qualify for than some of the campaign stars.
Generally speaking it was awarded for three years service in the United Kingdom or six months overseas in territories subjected to or threatened by enemy attack.
Like all other Second World War issues (except for those to Australians and South Africans) it was unnamed".
The above was taken from "British Orders, Decorations and Medals" by Donald Hall.
Hope this answers your question Valerii

In post #436 Józef Rozen was detailed as being awarded the MM.
Here is a snip from the VI Troop Commando diary - dated 31 July 1944 - which lists this, together with the mention of an MC for Mjr. Władysław Smrokowski of the same unit.
