Theoretically, Canada does not have to be at war for someone to be awarded any of the three military valour decorations. Originally Enemy was to be interpreted broadly enough to include acts of bravery in the face of hostile forces encountered during international peacekeeping missions. However, for political reasons, enemy is interpreted strictly and so this medal has not been awarded for United Nations operations as there is no enemy on peacekeeping or peacemaking missions. The medal may be awarded posthumously. BAR A plain bronze bar, ornamented with laurel leaves, is awarded for additional acts of bravery warranting the Victoria Cross. DESCRIPTION A bronze straight-armed cross pattée, 38-mm across, with raised edges. It is made from the cannons captured from the Russians in the Crimean War. OBVERSE The Royal Crown adorns the centre of the cross, surmounted by a lion guardant. Below the crown is a scroll bearing the inscription: PRO VALORE (Latin meaning For Valour). 2 REVERSE The reverse has raised edges with date of the act engraved within a raised circle. MOUNTING The cross is suspended from a straight bar (ornamented with laurels), slotted for the ribbon with a V-lug below. A small link joins the V-lug to a semi-circular lug on the top of the cross. The rank, name and unit of the recipient are engraved on the back of the bar. RIBBON The crimson ribbon is 38-mm wide. In undress, a miniature cross is worn on the ribbon. NAMING The rank, name, and regiment are engraved on the reverse of the mounting bar and the date of the incident on the back of the medal. DATE The effective date of the medal was 01 January 1993, and announced in the House of Commons on 23 February 1993. It was unveiled at Rideau Hall on 16 May 2008. ISSUED None to September 2017 The Australian Army has four Victoria Cross recipients for Afghanistan, The British Army two and the New Zealand Army one. Canada, after 10 years of war, zero. 3 NOTES: This medal is identical to the British medal, even being manufactured by the same company from the cannons captured from the Russians in the Crimean War, but with the words PRO VALORE replacing the words FOR VALOUR on the British medal. The medal may be awarded in two ways. First, a person can be recommended by the six-person Military Valour Decoration Advisory Committee, made up of one person appointed by the Governor-General and five Canadian Forces members appointed by the Chief of the Defence Staff. Second, a medal can be granted by a Canadian Forces officer holding a field command, subject to the approval of the Governor-General. However, it will never be awarded. Somebody in government doesn’t want to give this medal out and so after 10 years of war in Afghanistan, no Canadian Forces member was deemed worthy of receiving this award – British, New Zealand and Australian soldiers were but not Canadians!!! Go Figure. 1 1 Government House Photo 4 STAR OF MILITARY VALOUR SMV TERMS The Star may be awarded to members of the Canadian Forces, or a member of an allied armed force that is serving with, or in conjunction with, the Canadian Forces, for distinguished and valiant service in the presence of the enemy. The medal may be awarded posthumously and all citations will be published in the Canada Gazette. BAR A plain gold bar with a maple leaf in the centre is awarded for addition acts of distinguished and valiant service in the presence of the enemy. DESCRIPTION A gold star of four points (38-mm across), with a maple leaf in each of the angles. OBVERSE A gold maple leaf on a sanguine (red) disc surrounded by a silver wreath of laurel. REVERSE The Royal Cypher and Crown and the inscription PRO VALORE. The rank and name of the recipient will be engraved below. MOUNTING A small ball on the top point has a large ring attached through which the ribbon passes. NAMING The rank and name engraved on the reverse below the words PRO VALORE. 5 RIBBON The crimson ribbon is 32-mm wide, with a white stripe (4-mm wide), 2-mm from each edge. In undress, a gold maple leaf is worn on the ribbon and if a bar is awarded, two gold maple leaves are worn. DATE The effective date was 01 January 1993.

  • 1 the Crown and Honours
    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.
