Talk:Distinguished Service Order

Just added topic to Talk:Distinguished Service Order - level 2A decoration (order) in the British system of military decorations.

There is no source for ‘2A decoration (order)’. I had a look at British system of military decorations which turns out to be ‘Awards and decorations of the British Armed Forces’ which uses a number system. Is there a source for the number system or is it an original Wikipedia invention?

I can understand the VC and the GC being listed together since the GC is a defunct award for individual civilian gallantry in the UK. Originally, the GC was primarily for civilians but sadly it is nearly fifty years since an individual civilian received the GC for gallantry in the UK. The problem about the demise of the GC is that it is a little secret that is not talked about so it cannot be mentioned by Wikipedia since that would be original research.

When I click ‘Order of Wear’ the link does not go to the 2019 original source document but to the Wikipedia page United Kingdom honours order of wearing (sic) which seems to be another iteration of the same information. United Kingdom honours order of wearing would link to the 2019 original source if the link was not broken. I note it is called order of wearing in Australia and it does link to a copy of the Australian order of wearing but not to the original gazette notice.

MIDs have been around for hundreds of years but MIDs and commendations have only been listed in the Order of Wear since 1947. Neither ‘Awards and decorations of the British Armed Forces’ nor ‘United Kingdom honours order of wearing’ mention MIDs and commendations.

The item I would add to both pages is a history of the Order of Wear and link to the London Gazette website for all published Orders of Wear to date. The earliest I am aware of is 32300 - Fri, 21 Apr 1921 – 3184-3185. The first to mention MIDs and commendations is 37877 - Tue, 11 Feb 1947 – 697-699.
