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. The Chapel of the Order is the King Henry the Seventh Chapel in Westminster Abbey . The Great Master of the Order is the Prince of Wales. Females were not admitted to the Order until 1971. The insignia of the order are as follows: a) GCB : The Collar of gold is composed of nine crowns and eight devices (the devices are made up of a rose, a thistle and a shamrock issuing from a sceptre all enameled in their proper colours). The crowns and devices are linked together with gold, white-enameled knots. The Military Badge is a gold cross of eight points, enameled white, each point tipped with a small gold ball, and in each angle between the arms of the cross a gold lion. In the centre of the cross is a device consisting of the rose, thistle and shamrock issuing from a sceptre, and three Imperial Crowns. This device is surrounded by a red enamel circle on which is the motto 'TRIA JUNCTA IN UNO' in gold letter. The circle is again surrounded by two branches of laurel, enameled green, and below is a blue enamel scroll with the words 'ICH DIEN' in gold. The obverse and reverse of the badge are the same. The Civil Badge is oval and is of gold filigree work. It consists of a bandlet bearing the motto, and in the centre is the usual device of the rose, thistle and shamrock issuing from a sceptre, and the three crowns. The Riband is dark red (crimson), four inches wide and is worn over the right shoulder with the badge on the left hip when the collar is not worn. The Military Star is a silver flaming star with a gold Maltese cross overall with the centre device of three Imperial Crowns surrounded by the red enamel and green laurel as described for the badge. The blue enamel scroll outlined in gold is also present. The Civil Star is similar to the military star but does not have the Maltese Cross nor the green laurel or blue enamel. The Mantle is of crimson satin lined with white taffeta and on the left side of the mantle is embroidered a representation of the star of the Order. 2 b) KCB : The Military Badge and Civil Badge are similar to the GCB badges but slightly smaller and are worn suspended round the neck from a crimson ribbon, 38-mm wide. The Military Star is in the shape of a silver cross pattee without the Maltese Cross but with the centre similar to that of the GCB. The Civil Star is a silver cross pattee with a central device of three crowns upon a silver ground, encircled by the motto on a red enamel ribbon. c) CB : The Military Badge and Civil Badge are identical to the G.C.B. but smaller - the military badge being two inches across. Until 1 June 1917, the badge was worn on the left breast, from a straight suspender, with a pronged buckle on a 38-mm crimson ribbon. Since then, it has been worn at the neck from a 38-mm crimson ribbon. KCB Military Star RIBBON: For all three classes, the crimson ribbon, 38-mm wide, is worn in undress. =============================================================================================================== 3 GCB to CANADIANS (GCB) LONDON GAZETTE + NAME TITLE ELEMENT DECORATIONS (KCB / CB) / 02/01/1911+ DOUGLAS, Archibald Lucius Admiral Royal Navy GCB GCVO (KCB) 07/03/1817+ DRUMMOND, Gordon General British Army GCB (KCB) 19/06/1911+ DRURY, Charles Carter Admiral Royal Navy GCB GCVO KCSI (KCB) 16/06/1979+ EVANS, David George Air Chief Marshal Royal Air Force GCB CBE (KCB OBE) 25/06/1897+ HALIBURTON, Arthur Lawrence British Under-Secretary of State for War GCB (KCB / CB) 28/12/1956+ LOEWEN, Charles Falkland General British Army GCB KBE DSO (CB CBE) 21/11/1884+ MACDONALD, John Alexander Right Honourable Prime Minister GCB (KCB) 01/01/1972+ MOGG, Herbert John General British Army GCB CBE (KCB / CB) 24/05/1873+ WALLIS, Provo William Parry Admiral of the Fleet Royal Navy GCB (KCB) 1 20/05/1871+ WILLIAMS, William Fenwick General Royal Artillery Bt GCB (KCB / CB) 28/06/1861+ WILLSHIRE, Thomas General British Army Bt GCB (KCB / CB) 11 – GCB + One Newfoundland born Royal Navy Admiral 06/11/1903+ BRIDGE, Cyprian Arthur George Admiral Royal Navy GCB (KCB) ============================================================================================================================= ============================================================================================================================= Admiral of the Fleet Sir Provo Wallis, GCB General Thomas Willshire, Bt, GCB General William Fenwick Williams, Bt, GCB General Herbert John Mogg, GCB, CBE 1 Admiral of the Fleet Sir Provo Wallis, GCB General William Fenwick Williams, Bt, GCB General Thomas Wilshire, Bt, GCB General Hubert John Mogg, GCB, CBE 4 KCB to CANADIANS (KCB) LG+ / CG NAME RANK UNIT DECORATIONS (CB) / 01/01/1949+ BAKER, John Walkeling Air Marshal Royal Air Force (GBE) KCB DFC MC (CB) 04/01/1815+ BECKWORTH, John Charles Major-General British Army KCB KH 14/03/1867+ BELCHER, Edward Vice-Admiral Royal Navy KCB Kt (CB) 24/06/1910+ BENSON, Frederick William Major-General British Army KCB (CB) 06/07/1918 BURSTALL, Henry Edward Major-General Canadian Army KCB KCMG (CB CMG) 01/01/1943+ CORY, George Norton Lieutenant-General British Army KCB KBE DSO (CB) 26/01/1918 CURRIE, Arthur William Lieutenant-General Canadian Army (GCMG) KCB KCMG (CB) 2 25/07/1858+ DARLING, Charles Henry Governor Newfoundland/Jamaica KCB 19/04/1901+ DARTNELL, John George Colonel/Local BGen Natal Volunteer Force KCB CMG 01/01/1916+ de CHAIR, Dudley Rear-Admiral Royal Navy KCB KCMG MVO (CB) 28/04/1916+ DOBELL, Charles Macpherson Lieutenant-General British Army KCB CMG DSO 26/06/1902+ DOUGLAS, Archibald Lucius Admiral Royal Navy (GCB GCVO) KCB 14/08/1863+ DOUGLAS, James Governor British Columbia KCB (CB) civil 03/01/1815+ DRUMMOND, Gordon Lieutenant-General British Army (GCB) KCB 30/06/1905+ DRURY, Charles Carter Vice-Admiral Royal Navy (GCB GCVO) KCB KCSI 31/12/1976+ EVANS, David George Air Marshal Royal Air Force (GCB) KCB CBE (OBE) 11/06/1983+ FARNDALE, Martin Baker Lieutenant-General British Army KCB (CB) 25/08/1885+ HALIBURTON, Arthur Lawrence Director Sup/Trans War Office (Baron GCB) KCB (CB) civil 11/12/1860+ HEAD, Edmund Walker Governor in Chief Canada KCB civil 19/01/1919+ HENEKER, William Charles Giffard Major-General British Army 8 th Inf Div (KCMG) KCB DSO 25/09/1915 HUGHES, Samuel Major-General Minister of Militia KCB civil 22/01/1858+ INGLIS, John Eardley Wilmot Major-General British Army KCB 19/12/1918+ KIRKPATRICK, George Macaulay Major-General British Army (T/LGen) KCB KCSI (CB) 01/01/1954+ LOEWEN, Charles Falkland Lieutenant-General Royal Artillery (GCB) KCB KBE DSO (CB) 12/07/1919 LOOMIS, Frederick Oscar Warren Major-General Canadian Army KCB CMG DSO (CB) 03/06/1935 MacBRIEN, James Howden Commissioner RCMP (MGen Cdn Army) KCB CMG DSO* (CB) 09/07/1867+ MACDONALD, John Alexander Right Honourable PM Canada (GCB) KCB civil 08/02/1919 MACDONELL, Archibald Cameron Major-General Canadian Army KCB CMG DSO (CB) 2 Sir Arthur Currie, GCMG, KCB 5 KCB to CANADIANS (KCB) LG+ / CG NAME RANK UNIT DECORATIONS / 01/01/1959+ MERTON, Walter Hugh Air Marshal Royal Air Force (GBE) KCB OBE (CB) 01/01/1966+ MOGG, Herbert John Major-General British Army (GCB) KCB CBE DSO* (CB) 03/06/1898+ MURRAY, John Naturalist Northern Canada KCB civil 01/01/1963 NELSON, Sidney Richard Carlyle Air Marshal Royal Air Force KCB OBE (CB) 05/07/1913 OTTER, William Dillon Major-General Canadian Army KCB CVO (CB) 02/06/1923+ ROBINSON, Charles Walker Major-General British Army KCB (CB) 26/01/1918 TURNER, Richard Ernest William Lieutenant-General Canadian Army VC KCB KCMG DSO 18/05/1860+ WALLIS, Provo William Parry Vice-Admiral Royal Navy (GCB) KCB 26/01/1918 WATSON, David Major-General Canadian Army KCB CMG

  • “For Christ and Covenant:” a Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia
    “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. By Holly Ritchie A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History © Copyright Holly Ritchie, 2017 November, 2017, Halifax, Nova Scotia Approved: Dr. S. Karly Kehoe Supervisor Approved: Dr. John Reid Reader Approved: Dr. Jerry Bannister Examiner Date: 30 November 2017 1 Abstract “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. Holly Ritchie Reverend Dr. Thomas McCulloch is a well-documented figure in Nova Scotia’s educational historiography. Despite this, his political activism and Presbyterian background has been largely overlooked. This thesis offers a re-interpretation of the well-known figure and the Pictou Academy’s fight for permeant pecuniary aid. Through examining Scotland’s early politico-religious history from the Reformation through the Covenanting crusades and into the first disruption of the Church of Scotland, this thesis demonstrates that the language of political disaffection was frequently expressed through the language of religion. As a result, this framework of response was exported with the Scottish diaspora to Nova Scotia, and used by McCulloch to stimulate a movement for equal consideration within the colony. Date: 30 November 2017 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, to the wonderful Dr. S. Karly Kehoe, thank you for providing me with an opportunity beyond my expectations. A few lines of acknowledgement does not do justice to the impact you’ve had on my academic work, and my self-confidence.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.
