Usage
These are the codes for the template post-nominals and British honours with categories

Template

 * Code


 * Result : KG GCMG  (nb: see categories at the bottom of the page)

Special Case Uses
Some post-nominal letters differ from expected syntax to accommodate special cases, all indices are case sensitive: Indices are case sensitive so care is required not to confuse Kt and KT or DSC and DSc
 * The Order of St Michael and St George
 * GCMGf = Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
 * GCMGfh = Honorary Dames Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
 * GCMGm  = Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
 * GCMGmh = Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George
 * Some post-nominal letters describe both a Knight Grand Cross and a Dame Grand Cross. To disambiguate the two, all Knights Grand Cross and Knights Commander have an m (for male) suffix and all Dames Grand Cross and Dames Commanders have a f (for female) suffix. Honorary Knights use both m and h (for honorary) suffices and an honorary Dame uses both f and h suffices. Watch for this syntax in other Orders of Chivalry where gender is not determined by the post-nominal letters.
 * Knight Bachelor and Knights of the Order of the Thistle.
 * Kt = Knight Bachelor, seldom used and describes a Knight Bachelor who is also a Peer, a baronet or holds another knighthood.
 * Ktx = Knight Bachelor, Applies the category without displaying the post-nominal letters. Excepted to be used more often than "Kt".
 * KT = Knight Companion of The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.
 * Distinguished Service Cross and Doctor of Science
 * DSC = Distinguished Service Cross
 * DSc = Doctor of Science
 * The Order of Australia
 * AC    = Honorary Companion of the Order of Australia (expected case)
 * ACs   = Companion of the Order of Australia (special case)
 * Most UK citizens would not be eligible for full membership in the Order of Australia. An exception was made for The Duke of Edinburgh in 1988 so ACs describles a substantive companion of the Order of Australia.
 * The Order of New Zealand
 * ONZ   = An Honorary Member of the Order of New Zealand. (expected case)
 * ONZs  = A Substantive Member of the Order of New Zealand. (special case)
 * Another special case to accommodate The Duke of Edinburgh
