922F Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Carl Edward, appointed Colonel in Chief of the Seaforth Highlanders in 1905 through 1915, granted some officers of that Regiment various grades of his Saxe-Ernestine House Order. Most of these officers received private permission from the Palace to wear the insignia. For example, I know that officers were decorated in May/June 1907, identifying the decoration as the Order "de la Maison Ernestine". Efforts to search the London and Edinburgh Gazettes to verify such grants have yet to yield results. One correspondent advises that private permission wear authorization would not be recorded in a Gazette while others inform that it would be recorded there. Could anyone offer guidance on resolving official recording practices in 1907 and/or searching for this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Such an interesting story surrounding Carl Edward, well worth looking up. There was it seems only one grade given to foreigners and it was not freely awarded… Re your quest, I could only find this reference to permission to wear it, but it’s not available on line unfortunately I thought I’d found an interesting thread on GMIC for you but you are in it yourself, it was a while ago mind !
