The
Most Honourable And Ancient Order Of The Bath was presented for service
of the highest calibre. The order has a civil and a military division with
three levels in each division: Knight Grand Cross (GCB); Knight Commander
(KCB); and Companion (CB). The first two levels confer knighthood, and
since 1935, have not been available to anyone retaining Canadian Citizenship.
The Companion level was presented to the military for service in WWII and
one was presented to a Canadian in Korea. |

The
order was established for rewarding individual instances of meritorious
or distinguished service in war. This is a military order for officers
only, and while normally given for service under fire or under conditions
equivalent to service in actual combat with the enemy, it was awarded between
1914 and 1916 under circumstances which could not be regarded as under
fire. After 01 January 1917, commanders in the field were instructed to
recommend this award only for those serving under fire. Prior to 1943,
the order could be given only to someone Mentioned in Dispatches. The order
is generally given to officers in command, above the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel
and awards to ranks below this are usually for a high degree of gallantry
just short of deserving the Victoria Cross. A bar is awarded for an act
which would have earned the order in the first place. The bar is plain
gold with an Imperial Crown in the centre. The year of the award is engraved
on the reverse. |

With
WWI lasting longer than expected and no suitable way to reward services
to the war effort by civilians at home and servicemen in support positions,
King George V created another order with five levels. The first two levels
confer knighthood, and since 1935, have not been available to anyone retaining
Canadian Citizenship. The three levels - Commander, Officer and Member
- have been available to Canadian citizens. The order could be given generously
for services to the Empire at home. in India and in the Dominions and colonies.
The order was created mainly to award non-combatant services to the war
and was to include women, whom most existing orders excluded. When the
order was created in 1917 it had only one division, but was divided into
Civil and Military divisions in 1918. The order at any level can be awarded
for gallantry as well as for service. The order took an abrupt change
in 1937 when the insignia and the colour of the ribbon were changed. |

could be awarded the cross for gallant and distinguished services on the
ground. |
