"For more than forty years Canadian orders, decorations, and medals have been used to recognize exemplary citizens for their outstanding contributions to our country and to the world. Although Canada is a relatively young country, it is fortunate to have one of the most comprehensive honours systems in the world. With the Order of Canada as its centre, the Canadian honours system includes the Victoria Cross, the Star of Courage, the Order of St. John, the General Campaign Star, the Canadian Forces Decoration, and a wide variety of other awards. From the honours of New France to the many British medals awarded to Canadians prior to 1967, the different elements of the modern Canadian honours system are explained. Rich with full-colour illustrations, this book provides an easy-to-understand overview of Canadian honours and informs the reader who has received them and how they are bestowed. (It ) also includes a wearing guide and a ribbon chart." Inside - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright.
