Special Case Uses

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
  • GCMG = Knight Grand Cross of 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
  • GCMGh = 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 Dames Grand Cross and Dames Commanders have a f (for female) suffix. Honorary Knights and Dames use a h (for honorary) suffix 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.
  • KT = Knight Companion of The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.

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

• 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
