The Order of St. John and the Service Medal of the Order of St. John are awarded by The Queen in Right of Canada and are official Canadian honours. They constitute some of the oldest elements of the Canadian honours system. Awards such as the Chancellor’s Commendation and Provincial Chair’s Commendation are awarded under the authority of the Priory of Canada and may be worn with officially granted honours in the Canadian honours system. These honours and awards are worn on the left side of your coat or dress, commonly known as the “Crown” side, as these honours have been officially sanctioned by the Crown or are officially recognized. Other awards such as the Life-Saving Medal of the Order and Donat insignia are internal awards that have no national status. As we shall see, these should only be worn at Order of St. John events on the right side of the dress or coat. They are not to be mounted with officially granted honours or medals as they have not been sanctioned by the Crown and carry no official status. Christopher McCreery, SBStJ Priory Historian O T T A W A June 2010 Page ii Wearing Your Medals: A Guide Introduction Why Should I Wear My Medals? You have been officially recognized by the Crown for your service in one area or another. Your decorations are an outward display of not only your service but the honour that has been accorded to you by your country. You have been recognized in part to serve as an example to other citizens, and wearing your medals is one way of serving as an example. Wearing your medals also raises the visibility of the Order and provides an important service in this manner. Why Should I Follow These Rules? The rules for wearing orders, decorations, medals and other awards exist to help you know what to wear and when to wear it. Unfortunately there are some people who believe that “I earned this award; therefore, I can wear it any way I want.” Sadly this is a misinformed attitude that often leaves the person looking like a trumped-up dictator desperate to look important. By following these rules you are showing respect for the Crown and the many other members of the Order and recipients of the Service Medal. These rules are not unique to the Order of St. John. They are Canadian rules which have come to us through Commonwealth tradition and international custom. When Should I Wear My Medals? There are specific occasions when you may wear your orders, decorations and medals. How you wear your medals is usually dictated by what order of dress you are wearing, whether it be a business suit, long evening dress or dinner jacket (tuxedo). When you are invited to an event it will usually say what you should wear; such notifications are usually included on the bottom of the invitation card. It will often say something along the lines of “Business Attire with Full-size Decorations” “Black tie, long dress with Miniatures (or Decorations).” There is no rule preventing you from wearing your medals 24 hours a day, even on your pyjamas; however, common sense should prevail. The invitation will usually indicate if medals are to be worn. When in doubt, just keep your medals in your pocket until you arrive at an event. Then, if you find it is an event at which medals are to be worn you can pin them on. Full-Size Medals or Miniature Medals? The general rule to follow is that FULL-SIZE medals are worn DURING THE DAY, while MINIATURE SIZE medals are worn DURING THE EVENING. Full-size medals are those officially presented to a person by the Crown. These are worn during the daytime, while miniature medals are typically worn during the evening with formal dress. Miniature medals are small replicas of the full-size insignia and are purchased privately. Wearing Your Medals: A Guide Page 1 Full Evening Dress - White Tie and Tails or Long Evening Dress Men (White Tie and Tails) The miniature insignia of all orders, decorations and medals should be worn suspended from a medal bar attached to the left lapel of the coat.

    BATON ROUGE POLICE DEPARTMENT General Order Effective Date Revised Date No.113 11-01-1994 10-14-2019 Subject: Awards and Merit Reviewed 10/10/19 POLICY It is the policy of this Department to actively seek to recognize individual and collective acts above and beyond an officer's or units’ assigned duties. This policy is designed not only to recognize heroic acts, but to reward those officers whose performance is outstanding and those who develop innovative and ingenious methods of furthering the goals and objectives of the Department. The purpose of the Meritorious Awards Program is to create criteria and procedure for recognition of commendable acts, acts of valor, the saving of human life, exceptional service, and outstanding achievements performed by members of the Department while in the service of the community. PROCEDURES I. Meritorious Awards Review Board Established A. The Department has established a system of recommendation and review for acts that fit the general criteria above. It is in the best interest of the Department that outstanding officers be recognized so that their accomplishments set an example for all to follow. It is the responsibility of each and every officer to bring such acts to the Department's attention through the recommendation process. B. It is the Department's responsibility to document each recommendation to assure that no act fitting the enumerated criteria goes unrewarded, and to maintain the integrity of the awards so that their value is not lost or demeaned. To that end, the Meritorious Award Review Board has been established. C. Those chosen to administer this program will not take this responsibility lightly; it is a serious task.

  • 1 the Most Honourable Order of the Bath Gcb / Kcb / Cb X
    THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH GCB / KCB / CB X - CB - 2020 PAGES: 59 UPDATED: 01 September 2020 Prepared by: Surgeon Captain John Blatherwick, CM, CStJ, OBC, CD, BSc, MD, FRCP(C), LLD (Hon) ===================================================================================================================== ===================================================================================================================== 1 THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH (GCB / KCB / CB) When the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, National Order for Ireland was phased out with the death of the Duke of Gloucester in 1974, the Order of the Bath became the third highest Order of Chivalry. Merit and Service were to be the conditions for admission to this Order as opposed to most admissions to the Garter and Thistle being because of birth and nobility. The Order was founded in 1399 and probably took its name from the preparations for the knighthood ceremony where new knights would purify their inner souls by fasting, vigils and prayer, and then cleansing their body by immersing themselves in a bath. The Order was revived in 1725 as a military order with one class of Knights (K.B.). In 1815, the Order was enlarged to three classes: Knights Grand Cross (GCB) Knights Commander (KCB) Companions (CB) There was a civil division of the Knights Grand Cross while all others were to be military officers. In 1847, a civil division for all three classes was established with numbers set as follows: GCB 95 total 68 military 27 civil KCB 285 total 173 military 112 civil CB 1,498 total 943 military 555 civil The motto of the order is " Tria Juncta in Uno " (Three joined in one) which either refers to the three golden crowns within a golden circle worn on the badge, or the three crowns as symbolic of the Union of England, France and Scotland, or the Union of England, Scotland and Ireland or the Holy Trinity.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard It Was Fascination If one happened to miss the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, he or she can still view the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, on June 11, 2011. For the Anglophile, however, there’s always the Ascot Racecourse (located in the small town of Ascot, Berkshire). This course is approximately six miles from Windsor Castle, and owned by the Crown Estate. Royal Ascot, one of Europe's most famous race meetings (founded by Queen Anne in 1711), will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2011, to Saturday, June 18, the highlight being the Ascot Gold Cup. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, and various members of the British Royal Family, arriving at the start of each race day in a horse-drawn carriage with a Royal procession. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of what the attendees are wearing often eclipses coverage of the actual horse racing. If one is special, he or she may be invited to the Royal Enclosure. But there are rules that must be obeyed. The official “Royal Ascot” website spells out the dress code: “Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour.” “Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat.
