AUGMENTATION OF HONOUR/HONOR (AUGMENTATIONS or AUGMENTED)

Notes
a) An example of the above would be the George Cross which was added to the arms of Malta in 1942, and now appears on their current national flag, national arms, and naval jack – see ‘George cross’.
b) This is in comparison to a battle honour which is almost invariably related to combat and is entirely military in character.
