    Gentlemen,

     

    Further to my ongoing research into Imperial Ethiopian awards can anyone provide the circumstances or details of the award of the Order of the Seal of Solomon to Lord Mountbatten. According to Wikipedia/Debrett's peerage he was awarded the Order in 1965.

     

    Many thanks,

    GD,

     

    Great - this clearly, to my mind, provides the circumstances of the award - he had met Haile Selassie before but I am confident that this visit to Addis Ababa was when he was presented with the order. Of course it would be nice to have a photo but that would be pushing my luck! I have had a quick look at the Mountbatten papers archive and no visible reference to a picture.

     

    Many thanks,
