The Meritorious Service Cross has been awarded on one occasion only to Sir Harry Blackman KA, MSC, MVO. The Meritorious Service Star does not seem to have been awarded while the MSM is awarded regularly and is open to all ranks, it can be awarded for operational and non- operational service.

Megan. Middle row is Bravery Star, Barbados Service Star, Barbados Service Medal, Barbados Bravery Medal. The picture posted by Taz is the TD, MSM, EM (But not used now in this design) and the GSM with clasp for Grenada, a second clasp was issued fro Glendairy 2005. There are also a Meritorious Service Cross, and Meritorious Service Star, the former only being issued once.

This is not a Barbados order. I have just returned from there and am compiling a document on the Orders Decorations and Medals of the country. The official awards are all made in the UK. The island has a single order, The Order of Barbados, with classes of Knight/Dame of St Andrew (KA/DA), Companion of Honour of Barbados (CHB), Gold Crown of Merit (GCM), Silver Crown of Merit (SCM), Barbados Service Star (BSS) and Barbados Service Medal (BSM).
