I created the category last week, but came upon this discussion only today! Jay (talk) 07:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. It would add extra category-clutter to the articles about all those people. It seems getting this medal is not a very defining attribute for most recipients. --Apoc2400 (talk) 11:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion about de-grading

Can a recipient who has been conferred with a higher grade (Commander) be again conferred with a lower grade (Chevalier) order? This is the query at the reference desk. Jay (talk) 07:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
