Figure 3. Case containing the the awards of Maj Philip Babcock (right) and Lt Kenneth Porter, a DSC recipient and ace. Figure 4. Awards of Major Charles Biddle, who received the DSC, Silver Star, Purple Heart, French Legion of Honor and Croix de Guerre, with 3 palms. were presented, there were honor prizes given for a pilot’s first air victory. In German Army Aviation, it was a silver Ehrenbecher (Honor Goblet), such as the one given to Josef Jacobs. The Ehrenpreis of the German Navy is a dramatic bronze sculpture of combat between eagles, mounted on a pedestal with a plaque where is inscribed the name of the recipient (see cover). The Ehrenpreis displayed here was awarded to Vizeflugmeister Ernst Schwarz for his victory on October 1,1 91 7, when he and his pilot, Friedrich Christiansen, shot down a British Curtiss flying boat. According to custom with a two-seater crew, each member received the Prize of Honor. The silver plaque carries the inscription "Dem Seiger im Luftkampf" ("To the Victor in Air Battle") and is engraved with his name, rank and the date of the action. Major Francesco Baracca was Italy’s "Ace of Aces" and his many awards are duplicated in an array containing a gold Knight of the Military Order of Savoy, four Royal Medals for Bravery (one gold, two silver, one bronze) the Italian Order of the Crown, the British Military Cross and the Serbian Order of Karageorge, with swords. This display is augmented by personal information and photographs portraying a stunning career. Belgium is represented by a reconstruction of the awards of Second Lieutenant Willy Coppens, who was made Baron Houthulst (it was over the Forest of Houthulst where he gained most of his victories) for his combat exploits. The awards begin with the Belgian Orders of Leopold, with swords, and of the Crown, 4th class, other Belgian awards and a number of awards from the Allies. There was only one knight’s badge of the highly regarded Austrian Order of Maria Theresa ever awarded to a flier. The badge displayed is an illustrative example actually awarded to then Lt Col Robert Henry Dick (later Major General Sir Robert), one of 21 knight’s crosses awarded to British officers after the Battle of Waterloo. It is a piece of the highest honor in a huge replicated group to an Austro-Hungarian combat pilot. The display is augmented by information and photographs ]4 The medals of Captain O.C. Bryson, RAF, who received a Military Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross and bar, and the Albert Medal in bronze. Tunics of WWl aviators: Austro-Hungarian, Italian, tw.o French, two US Navy, and two Army Air Service uniforms. .

RCEME Honours, Decorations, and Medals V4
COC / RCOC (E) / RCEME / LORE / LEME / EME Honours, Decorations, and Medals by Major (Ret’d) Douglas C. Knight, CD with Colonel (Ret’d) Murray C. Johnston, MSM, CD version 4 – 2019 Note: unless otherwise stated, all persons listed in this document were members of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) and its predecessors, the Canadian Ordnance Corps (COC) and Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (Engineering Branch) (RCOC (E)), the Land Ordnance Engineering Branch (LORE), the Land Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch (LEME), and the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch (EME). Used generically, the term RCEME includes all these predecessors. COC / RCOC (E) / RCEME / LORE / LEME / RCEME Honours and Awards Authors’ Note This is a work in progress. Our intention is to record the medals and honours awarded to the officers and non-commissioned personnel of RCEME, and its predecessor RCOC (E) and successors LORE, LEME, EME, and RCEME again. As with any work of this nature, it will never be completed, because members of RCEME will undoubtedly continue to receive awards for valour or service. What is Included There is always the difficulty of what awards and medals to include, and which to exclude. Version 1 included only the awards listed by Veteran’s Affairs, Canada, or the DND Honours List, which excluded many command and unit commendations that were currently being awarded. Version 2 adds additional awards, such as Command Commendations, DGLEPM awards and the Director RCEME’s Coin of Excellence. Undoubtedly, some awards are still not included, and this in no way reflects on the merit of those awards, which are well deserved by the individuals that receive them, but is due to limitations of space, and in particular, access to the information.
