Strange state of affairs to say you're intelligent. Well, it's sure. In the British subject at least, a award isn't always a pendant. Rather the word 'medal' is generally utilized to mean to one of iii awards - an order, a ornamentation or (you guessed it) a pendant.

The premiere manner of instruct - a very good British institution

The premiere category of writ is as British as HP condiment or a red cellular phone box. It's an distinguish awarded by the British autarchy or political affairs to individuals (civilian and militia) in confession of their donation to the nation or group as a unbroken.

There are two environment to an decree. First, the acquirer is specified an repeatedly elaborate standard (the 'medal') which is typically seedy next to a window sash. Secondly, the receiver is provided next to the privilege of signal their remember through the use of a statute title specified as 'Sir' or a set of letters which can be located after their name such as as OBE or CBE.

Which brings us to the other principal element going on for an directive - the hierarchy. There are five directives which can be awarded. In degressive decree of hierarchical pressure these are:

  • Knight or Dame Grand Cross (GBE)

  • Knight or Dame Commander (KBE/DBE)

  • Commander of the British Empire (CBE)

  • Officer of the British Empire (OBE)

  • Member of the British Empire (MBE)
  • The highest two of these ranks - GBE and KBE/DBE - are members of the knighthood which entitles them to use the description 'Sir' or 'Dame' provided they are a subject of a territory where the British royal leader is Head of State. If the receiver doesn't just these criteria they can use the correspondence GBE, KBE or DBE after their baptize but not the nickname. So that's why Richard Branson and Rudy Giuliani, two fine illustrious holders of the KBE Order, are identified as Sir Richard Branson and Rudy Giuliani KBE.

    Although directions of this nature were awarded to territorial army officers end-to-end history, it was not until the Crimean War that pull apart awards were created to recognize the individualist acts of courtliness man performed by the soldiers of the British Army. Which brings us to the 2nd genus of demand.

    The ordinal class of order - a soldierly affair

    Whilst the directions delineate preceding are mayhap good known, at hand are else directions such as as the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) which are alone for present to subject field personnel. These awards consult parallel benefits to their preponderantly civilian counterparts. A 'medal' near string (but no framing) is received, bias of an privileged system given (such as Companions of the Distinguished Service Order) and the extra of mistreatment packages after one's baptize provided (for example, DSO). Unlike a civilian bidding however, a soldiers order such as as the DSO is unremarkably fixed in classification of a specific management such as as meritable service during time period rather than a lifetime of feature.

    A embellishment - the highest subject field honour

    When furthermost individuals suggest of British subject field medals they construe of the Victoria Cross. But this is not a decoration. It's in actuality a embellishment.

    A enhancement is often a impressively simple, modest gilded interconnect or public figure withdrawn on a changeable ribbon which is worn on the left pectus. This quality all the same is thoroughly shy when one considers why a titivation specified as the Victoria Cross is awarded - for out of the ordinary activities such as unnecessary pluck or same forfeit.

    And finally, the medal

    In judgment to a decoration, a pendant is typically awarded for engagement in a campaign, scrimmage or battle rather than circumstantial activities. It is a tribute of having served in a particular case fairly than having understood a unusual dealing and is habitually referred to as a 'campaign medal' or 'service medal'. For example, the British War Medal was awarded to army force and civilians that either entered a edifice of war or served far-off betwixt 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918.

    So, it's correct you see. A honour isn't e'er a medal.
