Description

Toronto: Dundurn Press, 2005. 408 pp, 9 1/4" H. "Since the creation of the Canadian honours system in 1967, more than 250,000 Canadians have been rewarded, yet little has been written about this system. This full-colour illustrated book recounts the history of Canada's various national orders, decorations, and medals, from New France's Croix de St. Louis, through the British Order of the Bath, to modern Canadian awards such as the General Campaign Star. Each award in the modern Canadian honours system is examined in detail, including historical background, design, and criteria for bestowal. With special chapters on heraldry, protocol, and the proper mounting and wearing of medals, it is an essential reference for anyone interested in Canadian honours." Minor wrinkling at the top/bottom of the spine, very light toning at the page edges, cigarette odour. Dust jacket has very light edge wrinkling - mainly at the top/bottom of the spine and the flap-folds, very light toning on the inside.. Not Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
