The New Zealand Order of Wear Table Page 1 of 18 The New Zealand Order of Wear Table The New Zealand Order of Wear Table below attempts to include past and present Military awards arranged in the correct order of precedence. Its purpose is to assist medal recipients to determine the correct order in which their medals should be mounted and worn. Important Information about the Order of Wear Table While every effort has been made to ensure that the Order of Precedence below is correct, there are sometimes when the order or wear may differ. For example, normally all foreign medals are worn after medals awarded by the Sovereign. However, when foreign awards are worn on occasions connected with the country that awarded them (for example, national day celebrations) the foreign awards should be worn in a position senior to the equivalent Sovereign's award. Foreign awards can only be worn when the Sovereign's permission has been given. Campaign, War and United Nations medals are worn in order of the date of qualifying for the award. Medals such as the General Service Medals 1915, 1918, 1962 and 2002 are worn in date order of the campaign for which they were awarded. Because medals are awarded at different times and for different campaigns, the order of wear table needs to be interpreted for each individual medal holder. While the medal display on this site includes only military medals and does not include honours awarded (such as the Knighthoods and other such civil awards), or other miscellaneous medals such as Coronation or Jubilee medals, Polar medals, etc. they are included in the Order of Wear shown below. The letters shown after the name of the award are the post-nominal letters that those who hold the award may use after their name.

  • 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.

  • Arctic Star and Bomber Command Clasp: Eligibility and How to Apply
    Arctic Star and Bomber Command Clasp: Eligibility and How to Apply Standard Note: SN06564 Last updated: 26 February 2013 Author: Claire Mills and Louisa Brooke-Holland Section International Affairs and Defence In April 2012 Sir John Holmes was asked by Government to independently review the rules, principles and processes for the medallic recognition of military service, following a number of long-running campaigns by veterans groups and individuals seeking redress for perceived injustices. Among the most prominent of those campaigns were those seeking recognition for the veterans of the World War Two Arctic Convoys and for those who served with Bomber Command. In his initial findings of July 2012 Sir John recommended that the main long- standing controversies should be re-examined in order to “try to draw a line under them”. Following a further period of work, on 19 December 2012 the Prime Minister announced that veterans of the World War Two Arctic Convoys were to be awarded an Arctic Star Medal and that the aircrews of Bomber Command would be awarded a Bomber Command Clasp to be worn on the 1939-1945 Star. Details of the eligibility criteria for each award, and the process of application, were not announced however until 26 February 2013. Priority in issuing the awards will now be given to surviving veterans and widows. It is expected that up to a quarter of a million veterans and families of those veterans who have since passed away, will be eligible to receive the awards and that the first medals will be awarded in March 2013.

To award a star, a period of one month was deemed to be 30 days. Service curtailed by death, or disability due to service, also qualified for the award. A recipient of a decoration, Mention-in-Despatches or a King's Commendation, qualified for the award irrespective of the length of service. Service spent in qualifying for one star could not run concurrently with service qualifying for another. Prisoner-of-War time could count towards the 1939-45 Star but it would not count towards the earning of other stars unless the 1939-45 Star qualifying time had been completed before capture. No more than five stars could be awarded to any individual. BARS All of the stars had bars except the Italy Star. The bars represent either a special service connected with that star (such as the Battle of Britain with the 1939-45 Star) or denote that the person qualified for the award of another specific star after the award of the first star. Only one bar per medal is worn. DESCRIPTION A six pointed tombac (a yellow copper-zinc alloy) star, 45-mm across the points. OBVERSE The Royal and Imperial Cypher (GRI with VI below) appears in the centre of the obverse.

Pp.47-74 A very different experience: Merchant Seamen on British coastal convoys 1940-45 Coastal Convoys: Introduction and Literature Review Since the early 1940s academic and public understandings of the war at sea in Europe have been dominated by the struggle for control of the Atlantic sealanes. Images and narratives of U-boats versus the escorted, seried columns of merchant ships in carefully controlled and closely fought convoy actions in the Atlantic proliferate in media representations. The British Government’s belated decision in 2012 to award veterans of the Russian convoys a special campaign medal in the form of the Arctic Star had only minimal impact on public perceptions of the geographical confines of Britain’s sea war.1 While within academic opinion there is a very firm understanding that the war at sea, especially the merchant seamen’s war, was very different in the Atlantic, as opposed to the Mediterranean, Pacific and Arctic theatres of operation, one area of convoy operations in the Second World War continues to be seriously overlooked by both academics and the general public: the convoys which operated in UK coastal waters.
