Special Case Uses

edit

Some post-nominal letters differ from expected syntax to accommodate special cases, all indices are case sensitive:

  • The Order of St Michael and St George
    • GCMGf = Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
    • GCMGfh = Honorary Dames Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
    • GCMGm = Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
    • GCMGmh = Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
    • Some post-nominal letters describe both a Knight Grand Cross and a Dame Grand Cross. To disambiguate the two, all Knights Grand Cross and Knights Commander have an m (for male) suffix and all Dames Grand Cross and Dames Commanders have a f (for female) suffix. Honorary Knights use both m and h (for honorary) suffices and an honorary Dame uses both f and h suffices. Watch for this syntax in other Orders of Chivalry where gender is not determined by the post-nominal letters.
  • Knight Bachelor and Knights of the Order of the Thistle.
    • Kt = Knight Bachelor, seldom used and describes a Knight Bachelor who is also a Peer, a baronet or holds another knighthood.
    • Ktx = Knight Bachelor, Applies the category without displaying the post-nominal letters. Excepted to be used more often than "Kt".
    • KT = Knight Companion of The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.
  • Distinguished Service Cross and Doctor of Science
    • DSC = Distinguished Service Cross
    • DSc = Doctor of Science

Indices are case sensitive so care is required not to confuse Kt and KT or DSC and DSc

  • The Order of Australia
    • AC = Honorary Companion of the Order of Australia (expected case)
    • ACs = Companion of the Order of Australia (special case)
    • Most UK citizens would not be eligible for full membership in the Order of Australia. An exception was made for The Duke of Edinburgh in 1988 so ACs describles a substantive companion of the Order of Australia.
  • The Order of New Zealand
    • ONZ = An Honorary Member of the Order of New Zealand. (expected case)
    • ONZs = A Substantive Member of the Order of New Zealand. (special case)
      • Another special case to accommodate The Duke of Edinburgh
