Distinguished Service Order The Distinguished Service Order ( DSO ) is a military decoration of the United Kingdom , and formerly of other parts of the Commonwealth of Nations and British Empire , awarded for meritorious or distinguished service by officers of the armed forces during wartime , typically in actual combat . Instituted on 6 September 1886 by Queen Victoria in a Royal Warrant published in the " London Gazette " on 9 November , the first DSOs awarded were dated 25 November 1886 . It is typically awarded to officers ranked Major ( or its equivalent ) or higher , but the honour has sometimes been awarded to especially valorous junior officer s . 8 , 981 DSOs were awarded during the First World War , each award being announced in the London Gazette . The order was established for rewarding individual instances of meritorious or distinguished service in war . It was a military order , until recently for officers only , and normally given for service under fire or under conditions equivalent to service in actual combat with the enemy , although it was awarded between 1914 and 1916 under circumstances which could not be regarded as under fire ( often to staff officer s , which caused resentment among front - line officers ) . After 1 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 Despatches . The order is generally given to officers in command , above the rank of Captain . A number of more junior officers were awarded the DSO , and this was often regarded as an acknowledgement that the officer had only just missed out on the award of the Victoria Cross . In 1942 , the award of the DSO was extended to officers of the Merchant Navy who had performed acts of gallantry while under enemy attack . Since 1993 , its award has been restricted solely for distinguished service ( i . e . leadership and command by any rank ) , with the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross being introduced as the second highest award for gallantry . It has , however , despite some very fierce campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan , remained an officers only award and it has yet to be awarded to a non - commissioned rank . Recipients of the order are officially known as Companions of the Distinguished Service Order . They are entitled to use the post - nominal letters " DSO " . One or more gold medal bar s ornamented by the Crown may be issued to DSO holders performing further acts of such leadership which would have merited award of the DSO . The bars are worn as clasps on the medal ribbon of the original award . Notable recipients . The following received the DSO and three bars :

MM - 38 Exocet The MM - 38 Exocet is a short - range , solid propellant , single warhead , ship - launched cruise missile developed and manufactured by France Description . France initially designed the Exocet ( " Flying Fish " in French ) family of cruise missiles to attack and destroy large warships . The MM - 38 began development in 1967 as a ship - launched variant , and entered service in 1975 . It is currently deployed in six - launch canisters on the helicopter carrier Jeanne D ' Arc and the " Tourville " class destroyers ; in four - launch canisters on the " George Leygues , " " Suffren " class destroyers , and " Commandant Riviere " frigates ; and in two - launch canisters on the " D ' Estienne D ' Orves " and " Floreal " class frigates . The MM - 38 is also deployed aboard fast attack craft of various types . The Exocet family of missiles are all the same basic shape , the only differences being the length and wing shape . The MM - 38 has four delta - shaped wings at mid - body , and four delta - shaped control fins at the rear . The missile is 5 . 21 m long , 0 . 35 in body diameter , and has a launch weight of 725 kg . It is powered by a solid propellant boost rocket weighing 100 kg , and a solid propellant sustainer motor weighing 151 kg . The MM - 38 has a maximum range of 40 km , and carries a high explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 165 kg . After its launch , the MM - 38 stabilizes in the direction of its target at its first cruising altitude , low enough to avoid detection by its target yet high enough to allow its active radar seeker head to acquire the target . Midcourse guidance is by an inertial navigation system ( INS ) and a radio altimeter , allowing the missile to fly a sea - skimming trajectory to its target . The MM - 38 descends to its second cruise altitude for the terminal phase , with a final approach at an altitude determined by prevailing sea conditions , sometimes as low as 3 m . Terminal guidance is provided by an active radar . France has manufactured a total of 3 , 300 Exocet family missiles . Sources indicate that 1 , 260 MM - 38 missiles have been built , and production is said to be complete . France has also developed a coastal defense variant designated the BC - 38 . The MM - 38 has been offered for export , and its client states include Argentina , Bahrain , Belgium , Brazil , Brunei , Cameroon , Chile , Colombia , Cyprus , Ecuador , Germany , Greece , Indonesia , Iraq , Ivory Coast , South Korea , Kuwait , Malaysia , Morocco , Nigeria , Oman , Pakistan , Peru , Qatar , Saudi Arabia , Taiwan , Thailand , Tunisia , the United Arab Emirates , the U .

5th Canadian Infantry Brigade The 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade was mobilized on 1 September 1939 as part of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division . The brigade was formed before the declaration of World War II , and the battalions were promptly fleshed out by volunteers . Further expansion of the brigade was hindered by a temporary halt in recruitment and uncertainty about overseas deployment . Consequently , brigade headquarters were not actually formed until May / June 1940 . After the Dieppe Raid the brigade , with the 2nd Canadian Division , moved to Normandy in time to serve with the British 2nd Army . They participated in the advance along the Channel Coast with the Canadian 1st Army , including the liberation of Dieppe . The division saw heavy action in the Netherlands in late 1944 , and took part in the final offensives in 1945 . Organization . In 1939 , the second division was organized along regional lines , like the 1st Canadian Infantry Division . The 5th Infantry Brigade ' s order of battle was as follows
Sturmhauptführer Sturmhauptführer was a Nazi Party paramilitary rank used by both the " Sturmabteilung " ( SA ) and the SS . It was the equivalent of a " Hauptmann " in the German army . This is the equivalent of captain ( O - 3 ) in western militaries . The rank was first created in 1928 as an SA rank and was bestowed upon those SA officers who were company commanders of SA units . The rank translates as “ storm head leader ” and can trace its origins to the German shock troops of the First World War , who were typically organized into storm trooper companies under an officer ranked lieutenant or captain . As an SS rank , " Sturmhauptführer " was established in 1930 as a senior rank to that of " Sturmführer " . " Sturmhauptführer " was initially considered as more of a senior lieutenant , but after 1932 the rank was rated above that of " Obersturmführer " and became the equivalent of a captain . The insignia for the rank was also modified to denote the higher status . In 1934 , after the Night of the Long Knives , the SS changed the name of " Sturmhauptführer " to " Hauptsturmführer " . This was due in large part to separate the SS rank system from the SA , now considered two completely separate organizations . " Sturmhauptführer " remained an SA rank until 1945 .
USS Tommy Traddles ( 1906 ) USS " Tommy Traddles " was a motorboat the United States Navy acquired for use as a patrol vessel in 1917 but never commissioned .

Leffingwell of Bradenton , Florida , purchased her . On 25 June 1917 , the U . S . Navy bought " Tommy Traddles " from Leffingwell for use as a section patrol boat during World War I . Leffingwell delivered her to the Navy on 4 August 1917 . Quickly deemed unsuitable for naval use , " Tommy Traddles " never received a section patrol ( SP ) number and was never commissioned .

Another officer in the regiment was 1st Lieutenant John L . Mitchell . Mitchell later became a United States Senator and was the father of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell - an outspoken and controversial advocate of air power .
