Military & Civil Order of the Bath Recipients

[jeffskea]

An interesting double-CB naval bar that seems to have the potential for attribution. 

 

Four names are listed in WW1 as having received both divisions:

 

- Rear Admiral Alexander Duff

- Rear Admiral Arthur Leveson

- Captain Frederic Dreyer

- Captain Charles Little

 

The first two passed away before 1935, the third was entitled to a 1914-15 Star, the last seemingly could fit however Little was awarded the Italian Order of Lazarus in WW1. Unless that award was removed during the early War years due to Italy's involvement as an Axis power. I suppose the list of potential recipients could be longer for some naval officers who may have received a Civil CB during WW1 and subsequently received a Military CB post War, I am not aware of when the Navy shifted away from awarding Civil CBs for essentially non operational service.
