Talk:Order of the Bath

message: This statement should be revised or qualified in some wise as it gives rise to the questions both under what circumstances, and can regular knights be so stripped, and, if so, under what circumstances?  --Daniel C. Boyer 16:27, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are no 'rules'. It is at the Queen's pleasure. As a guide, conviction for a serious offence will result in the title being stripped. Alci12 18:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Only the very cleanest knights qualify for this order. This isn't the order of the septic tank, you know. Kauffner (talk) 04:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Honorary Knights may be stripped of their knighthoods

message: Does the Order of the Bath really rank after OM and CH among the British orders of chivalry? And are OM and CH even 'orders of chivalry'? Their members do not receive knighthoods. Mapple 19:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Cabinet office ( http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/ceremonial/honours/chivalry.asp )and the Select Committee on Public Administration of the House of Commons ( http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmpubadm/212/21204.htm#a3 ) both provide the tables of the British orders. In both tables OM is placed after the Order  of the Bath, and CH after the Order of the British Empire. I wonder what is the source for your information. Mapple 17:36, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Do male GCBs, KCBs and CBs wear a neck badge? Or do they wear the badges on their left chest?

:KCBs and CBs wear the badge on a necket. For GCBs, the badge hangs from a sash or the ceremonial collar on collar days.187.73.191.2 (talk) 13:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Is there an online source giving the citations for the award of Knighthoods of the Order of the Bath? I have looked for them in vain on the web, including in the London Gazette. Any ideas? Thanks. --78.54.119.70 (talk) 08:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the reasons for appointments to the Order of the Bath (or the other British Orders) are published anywhere. The Gazette is the definitive record, so that's where they would be if they existed. Dr pda (talk) 09:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the citations have ever been systematically published.  Many of the original recommendations for awards of decorations and honours to Army officers between 1935 and 1990 are now online from The National Archives, search here, info about what you might find here which will include some appointments to the Order fo the Bath - bear in mind that for much of the 20th century a KCB was pretty much automatic for anyone promoted to lieutenant-general or equivalent - and from recent experience these do not appear to be included in these recommendations.  You can search the records I mention above for free, but to actually download a record will normally cost £3.50 unless you are in an institution that subscribes via Athens, or if you visit the office at Kew. David Underdown (talk)
What is the current fee?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philo-Junius (talk • contribs) 04:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the photograph of Chiang Kai-shek because I don't think it's particularly relevant to the subject of the article.  He was an honorary GCB (at least according to the article about him) but (a) there's no other reference to him in the rest of this article, much less any explanation as to why his photograph appears so prominently, and (b) the photograph in question doesn't show him actually wearing the vestments, riband, badge, star or collar of the Order. -- Nicholas Jackson (talk) 18:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Before my time, but I think this sort of thing shows those foreign leaders whom the British establishment delights to honour,  in addition to its own people.  In the president's case he was an important leader of a quite large country;  China's George Washington ---  but less greedy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claverhouse (talk • contribs) 07:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

message: It'd be nice if we could have a list of all GCBs - it's the highest honor in the UK we don't have a full list of (we have all KGs, KTs, KPs, KBs, OMs, and apparently GCSIs). There's a list in Haydn's Book of Dignities that goes up to 1887, but I'm not sure where to find the rest. Obviously they're in the London Gazette, but that thing has the worst user interface ever if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. john k (talk) 16:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A full list is certainly something that can be worked on, it can be done on a new page. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 10:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Working on it! Leigh Rayment now has a list of all knights since 1837, so I'm compiling it in chronological order along with the Haydn's list for the earlier ones, then I'll cross-reference it with the London Gazette if possible. Rayment's list combined with Haydn should actually be able to get us all knights in orders eventually, which would be pretty nice, though obviously a lot of work to collate and code in and reference. john k (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: john k, a list now exists, though not finished. List of Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 08:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Nowhere near complete, but the formatting is a nice start. I'll work on it! john k (talk) 16:27, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. This very old FA has considerable uncited text, missing as of dates, a listy lead, and some content that may be dated based on old sources used. Per the abundance of the use of the word today, a MOS:CURRENT review is also in order. The word also is often redundant, and often is here; there are other indications that a good copyedit is overdue. Images should not be left-aligned when that offsets a list.  I am listing this at WP:FARGIVEN; hopefully improvements can be made sufficient to avoid a Featured article review. SandyGeorgia (Talk)  21:32, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
