"
Honours & Awards: Army, Navy, Air Force 1914-1920, published by J.B. Hayward & Son in 1979, is a meticulously compiled reference work documenting the gallantry, service, and distinguished conduct of British and Commonwealth personnel during the First World War. Covering the Army, Royal Navy, and the newly established Royal Air Force, the book lists the recipients of medals, decorations, and mentions in despatches, along with brief details of their service. It serves as an invaluable tool for historians, researchers, and genealogists seeking to trace the military recognition of individuals who served between 1914 and 1920, presenting a comprehensive and authoritative roll of honour.
Beyond being a simple register, the book highlights the breadth of contribution across all ranks and services, reflecting the global nature of the Great War and the diverse theatres in which these honours were earned. The inclusion of rare and lesser-known awards, as well as citations where available, provides insight into acts of bravery, devotion to duty, and leadership under fire. By consolidating this information into a single volume, the work preserves the memory of those who distinguished themselves during the conflict and offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of military decorations and the individuals behind them."
