Talk:Francis Hassett/Archive 1

Question
I think http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Francis_Hassett&oldid=235795604 makes an improved article look even better. Could you please tell me if you agree, or not, and explain why? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * As you know, I do not particularly like the "Honours and awards" sections, and I do not think it should be included here. All of Hassett's honours (including his National Medal, thanks to you) are covered in the article, and one can just click on the link to find out about them. Also, due to how many medals Hassett actually had, I think the volume of the section overwhelms the article. Thanks, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 22:28, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

LVO vs MVO?
http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?aus_award_id=1106630&search_type=advanced&showInd=true says: "The Royal Victorian Order - Members of the Fourth Class", 27 April 1954, "Marshal of the 1954 Royal Tour". http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ViewPDF.aspx?pdf=40159&geotype=London&gpn=2501&type=ArchivedIssuePage&all=&exact=&atleast=&similar= also says: "To be Members of the Fourth Class". In my ignorance, that sounds like "MVO" to me. Where does the "LVO" come from? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Answer: If you look at Royal Victorian Order, you will see: There are five grades (levels) of the Royal Victorian Order, in order of precedence: The fourth level is "Lieutenant" (post-nominal: LVO) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Knight or Dame Grand Cross (prefix: Sir or Dame, post-nominal: GCVO)
 * Knight or Dame Commander (prefix: Sir or Dame, post-nominal: KCVO or DCVO)
 * Commander (post-nominal: CVO)
 * Lieutenant (post-nominal: LVO)
 * Member (post-nominal: MVO)


 * It is ridiculous; most texts state that he was an MVO due to the fact that it was classed as "Members of the Fourth Class" as that was what it was most commonly known then. But, as you outlined above, the fourth class is LVO. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 22:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
