BRITISH NOBILITY AND KNIGHTHOODS TO CANADIANS

The British Nobility is headed by the Queen (or King) and her children who

are Princes and Princesses. The five grades of the British Nobility are

Dukes, Marquis, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. A Baronet is one rank below

the peerage granted by the Sovereign and confers upon the person the right

to be called Sir and to use the post-nominal letters Bt. Unless previously

knighted, a Baronet is not necessarily a Knight Bachelor. The title of

Baronet is a hereditary title, the title being passed on to the oldest son.

A Knight Bachelor ranks behind a Baronet and confers upon the person the

right to be called 'Sir' and to use the post-nominal letters Kt. There are

also six official British Orders of Chivalry: The Most Noble Order of the

Garter; The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle; The Most

Honourable Order of the Bath; The Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael

and Saint George; The Royal Victorian Order, and; The Most Excellent Order

of the British Empire. Admission to the first two orders automatically

confers Knighthood (although most appointments are to those already members

of the peerage) and admission to the first two classes of the other four

orders confers knighthood (Bath GCB & KCB; St Michael and St. George GCMG &

KCMG; Royal Victorian Order GCVO & KCVO; and Order of the British Empire GBE

& KBE). Thus, the peerage has five classes; a Baronet is between the

peerage and knighthood; and, knighthood is granted to a Knight Bachelor and

to those admitted to the top two grades of the six orders of chivalry.

Before being admitted to a grade of a British Order of Chivalry, which

confers knighthood, the person is first knighted as a knight bachelor and

then receives the insignia of the order.

No person born in Canada has ever been made a Duke but His Royal Highness,

the Duke of Connaught (1911 - 1916), third son of Queen Victoria, and the

Duke of Devonshire (1916 - 1921), were Governor Generals of Canada. Five

Marquis have served as Governor General in Canada but no Canadians have been

made a Marquis. Also, no Canadians have been made an Earl although several

Earls have served as the Governor-General of Canada, the last one being Earl

Alexander of Tunis (1946- 1952).

Richard Bedford Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935, and

born in New Brunswick, was made a Viscount. His title, conferred after he

moved to Britain in 1941 was Viscount Bennett of Mickleham, Calgary and

Hopewell. As he had no heir, the title died with him. The British

Commander of the Canadian Corps when they took Vimy Ridge was

Lieutenant-General The Honourable Sir Julian Hedworth George Byng, later

made a Field Marshal and who after serving as Canadian Governor-General

(1921 - 1926) was made the Viscount Byng of Vimy, but of course was not a

Canadian. The only other Canadian to be made a Viscount was Thomas Hamar

Greenwood, born in Whitby, Ontario and who became Viscount Greenwood in

1937. Greenwood was also a Baronet and a Baron.

3

The first native-born Canadian to be knighted was Daniel Jones from Upper

Canada who was made a Knight Bachelor in 1836. Prior to Confederation only

a few knighthoods were granted to Canadians or to British subjects for

services done mainly in Canada. None of the Fathers of Confederation held

titles but Queen Victoria made the first Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John

A. Macdonald, a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on the day the

Confederation of Canada was proclaimed, 1 July 1867. This caused Macdonald

immediate problems because his French-Canadian lieutenant, George Etienne

Cartier, and Alexander Galt, his first finance minister, both major

architects of the British North American Act, had not received a comparable

honour. The ensuing uproar over this omission led to a Baronetcy for

Cartier in 1868 and a KCMG for Galt in 1869. George Etienne Cartier,

Alexander Tilloch Galt, William Pearce Howland, William McDougall, Samuel

Leonard Tilley, and Charles Tupper were all made Civil Commanders of the

Order of the Bath (CB) on 1 July 1867. All but McDougall would receive a

Baronetcy or be knighted later.

Recommendations for knighthoods were the prerogative of the

Governor-General. Macdonald was a strong supporter of titles and during his

two terms in office pressed for more awards and for government input to

awards. Macdonald's successor, Alexander Mackenzie (1873 - 1878), a

Liberal, was hostile to honours and refused a knighthood. Mackenzie,

furious over a proposed award to a government employee (Sandford Flemming)

without the government's approval, put his case strongly to the Home

Secretary in 1877. The Home Secretary was reluctant to agree to government

input and the hostility continued resulting in few awards during this

period. Mackenzie was the only Canadian Prime Minister not knighted until

Arthur Meighen became Prime Minister in 1920.

There were few honours awarded during Mackenzie's term as Prime Minister

(1873 - 1878) but he did try to have George Brown, who played a prominent

part in the Quebec Conference of 1864 and was regarded as the power behind

the Mackenzie administration, awarded a knighthood. Brown, true to his

Liberal principals, refused the honour. In Macdonald's first list on his

return to power in 1878, two Liberals (Cartwright and Howland) plus three

Conservatives (Tilley, Tupper and Campbell) were included. The country was

clearly becoming polarized on the honours question with Conservatives

approving of them and Liberals not. Mackenzie's successor as Liberal

leader, Edward Blake, also refused a knighthood.

With Conservatives once again in power, it became the practice in 1879 to

knight the Chief Justices of the four provinces on appointment to office.

Other recipients were usually engaged in public affairs, members of the

cabinet (especially finance and militia), senior persons in banking and

railway development and Provincial Lieutenant-Governors.

4

Sir John A. Macdonald died in office in 1891 and three of his four

Conservative successors were knighted once in office (Abbott, Thompson, and

Bowell) while Tupper had been knighted prior to taking office.

When Wilfrid Laurier, a Liberal, became Prime Minister in 1896, he declined

a knighthood. However, when he arrived in England for the Diamond Jubilee

celebrations for Queen Victoria, he learned that his name was on the Queen's

Honour List for 1897. Although strongly opposed to accepting the award of a

GCMG, he was persuaded by his advisors to accept the award so as not to

disrupt the Jubilee ceremonies.

Laurier resisted attempts to have his ministers knighted and while public

reaction to his award was favourable, he always considered the title a

political liability. In 1902, Laurier had Parliament petition the King to

consult his Canadian Ministers in matters relating to honours to Canadians.

The Colonial Office was told "it is not in harmony with the principles of

our constitutional system that the Governor-General make recommendations

without the advice of Canadian Ministers". The Colonial Office again

refused Canadian Government input and a major controversy arose in 1911 when

Bonar Law, the only Canadian to become a British Prime Minister, secured a

Knight Bachelor for an expatriate Canadian, Max Aitken. Aitken went on to

receive a Baronetcy and later was made a Baron, Lord Beaverbrook, further

awards that angered Canadian Liberals.

Sir Robert Borden, Canadian Prime Minister (1911 - 1920) was originally

elected as a Conservative and continued the Conservative tradition of

encouraging Knighthoods. However, a Knighthood to Sam Hughes, a Baronetcy

for Joseph Flavelle and a peerage for Hugh Graham, were all pointed out as

examples of the British continuing to prevent Canadian input into the

awarding of these honours.

Borden himself was made a GCMG in 1914. During the First World War, several

honours were made to individuals involved in the war effort and to serving

Canadian officers, such as General, Sir Arthur Currie, first Canadian to

command the Canadian Corps.

As the head of the Unionist Government elected in 1917, Borden was under

considerable pressure to do away with British Honours. On 22 May 1919, the

so-called Nickel Resolution was adopted by the House of Commons asking the

British Government to exclude Canadians from receiving honours of any kind,

titular or non-titular. It is important to point out that this was not

passed as a law but only as a resolution. Thus, Canadians living in Britain

were not excluded from knighthoods (such as George Parkin, KCMG 1920) but

the Governor-General of Canada no longer recommended awards.

5

When Richard Bennett, a Conservative, became Prime Minister (1930 - 1935),

he lifted the ban on British honours. In the New Years Honour List of 1933

(Canada Gazette, 4 February 1933), he had Sir George Perley, Minister

without Portfolio and frequent acting-Prime Minister, elevated from a KCMG

to a GCMG. The reaction of the Canadian public was mixed so he delayed any

further honours until the New Years Honour List of 1934 although the

Imperial Service Medal was awarded generously in 1933. The 1934 New Years

Honour List saw the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Right

Honourable Lyman Poore Duff made a GCMG and the Chief Justice of the

Province of Quebec, The Honourable Joseph Mathias Tellier made a Knight

Bachelor. In addition, four CMGs, seven CBEs (including Miss Charlotte

Whitton, later Mayor of Ottawa), eleven OBEs and sixteen MBEs were

announced.

In His Majesty's Birthday list of 4 June 1934, Charles Saunders was made a

Knight Bachelor and Dr. Frederick Banting was made a KBE. There were also

four CMGs, five CBEs and one OBE announced.

The King's New Years Day list of 1935 had a Knighthood for the Chief Justice

of Nova Scotia (Chisholm), a KCMG for Gooderham and a KBE for Lindsay. The

list also included a CB for Major-General Andrew McNaughton, two CMGs, one

military CBE, one military OBE and one military MBE. In the Civil Division

of the Order of the British Empire, there were five CBEs, 14 OBEs, and 16

MBEs. There was also a military and civil BEM awarded.

In the Birthday list, which also commemorated the 25th year of King George

V's Reign, a large Canadian list was included. This list dated 3 June 1935

(published in the Canada Gazette 29 June 1935) included four Knighthoods

(Chapais, Grier, MacMillan and Roberts); one KCB (MacBrien), one GCMG

(White), one KCMG (Marler), one CB (Ashton), and eleven CMGs. In the

military division of the Order of the British Empire, Lieutenant-Colonel

Henry Willis O'Connor, Aide-de-Camp to the Governor-General was made a CBE,

Major E.L.M. Burns was made an OBE and three Warrant Officers First Class

were made MBEs. From the Royal Canadian Air Force, Squadron Leader G.E.

Brooks was made an OBE and Warrant Officer First Class A.A. Rabnett an MBE.

Commander Robert Agnew, RCN was awarded an OBE and Commissioned Victualling

Officer John George Buckner Horne, RCN was awarded an MBE. In the Civil

Division of the Order, Mr. E.W. Beatty was made a GBE and Mr. A.G. Doughty

and Mr. J.C. McLennan were both made KBE. There were also nine CBEs, 21

OBEs (including Lester B. Pearson) and 39 MBEs.

6

In addition, the list included six awards of the Companion of the Imperial

Service Order (ISO). This order is not one of the orders of chivalry but is

awarded for meritorious services on the part of members of the

administrative and clerical branches of the Civil Service throughout the

British Commonwealth. At least 25 years of service are usually required for

this honour. There is also an Imperial Service Medal, which is given under

the same terms as the ISO but to more junior members of the civil service.

In July 1936, 61 Imperial Service Medals were awarded to Canadians.

Prime Minister Bennett had chosen those to reward very carefully and the

honours were reasonably well received by the Canadian public. However, when

his government fell in late 1935, this temporary opening of the door to

Canadians receiving British honours was slammed shut forever by the

MacKenzie King Government. Under the terms of the Nickel Resolution,

Canadian servicemen remained eligible for British Military decorations for

valour and distinguished service. It was not until 1943 that a

parliamentary committee allowed the ban to be lifted for service personnel

and civilians to receive non-titular honours for war service. A Canada

Medal had been prepared and designed in 1943 and received all necessary

approvals. The Prime Minister was then asked to approve a list of the first

recipients.

The following from 'The Mackenzie King Record' by J.W. Pickersgill outlines

what happened to this medal: "One irritating question of lesser importance

was what to do about the Canada Medal. This medal had been established some

time before without any clear conception of its purpose. E.H. Coleman, the

Under Secretary of State, had prepared a memorandum on the procedure for

awarding of the medals that Mackenzie King went over with him on October 29,

1943. He was 'exasperated' at the whole business. It was simply a case of

giving to him that hath, following a list of precedence from the

Governor-General down, including Princess Elizabeth of England. The medal

was to be one for fairly wide distribution to people who had rendered extra

special service, something beneath the decorations. I told Coleman I would

not take the responsibility of making recommendations and thought we would

be wise to withhold all awards of the medal until after the war. At the

Cabinet meeting on 3 November 1943, his colleagues agreed the Medal was

intended to be awarded 'because of extra special service, not something to

be given to all those who already have the highest positions'. When it was

suggested the Government might have to proceed to make awards because of

steps already taken (including the minting of 14 medals), Mackenzie King

observed 'this got under my skin at once and I said it was the strongest of

reasons why we should not proceed any further; that I objected altogether to

these matters being forced on the cabinet; that nothing should be done."

Thus the Canada Medal was permanently set aside and no Canadian awards given

until 1967. While Mackenzie King was opposed to honours, he still accepted

the Order of Merit from King George VI in 1946.

7

The ban on Canadians receiving knighthoods or appointments to the peerage

has continued since 1935. However, several Canadians have received

knighthoods for services rendered while serving the British Government and

after taking out British citizenship. Sir William Samuel Stephenson, 'A Man

called Intrepid', was knighted in 1946 for his part in the secret service

during World War Two. Sir Leonard Outerbridge was knighted in 1946 while

living in Newfoundland that was of course prior to that province joining

confederation. Air Vice-Marshal Tait (RAF), Air Marshal Livingston (RAF)

and General Charles Loewen (British Army) are all examples of Canadians who

took out British citizenship and received knighthoods for their service to

Britain through the British Armed Forces. Roy Thomson took out British

citizenship before being appointed Baron Thomson of Fleet.

I have not included in the listings the many persons living in Canada who

hold hereditary titles or who were knighted for services prior to settling

in Canada. Such persons include General Sir Neil Ritchie, GBE (1951), KCB

(1947), KBE (1945), DSO (1917), MC. (1916), CB (1944), CBE (1940) who was

born in British Guiana and moved to Canada in 1960 so cannot be considered a

Canadian Knighthood or Canadian GBE; Sir Edgar Vaughan, KBE (1963) who was

born in Wales and came to Canada in 1967 after being awarded the KBE so is

not a Canadian KBE, and; Sir David Bate, KBE (1978) who was born outside of

Canada and his services were performed mainly in Nigeria coming to Duncan,

B.C. to live after receiving the KBE. A more recent example is Mr. Trevor

Pinnock, who received a CBE in 1992 and then came to Canada. Also a

professor of mine at the University of Alberta, Dr. Greenhill, became

Viscount Greenhill when his father died.

A distinctive Canadian honour was finally established during Canada's

Centennial year, 1967 with two grades of the Order of Canada. The top grade

was Companion of the Order of Canada and the second grade was the Medal of

Service. In addition, a distinctive Canadian bravery award was created, the

Order of Canada Medal of Courage. However, just as the Canada Medal of 1943

was never awarded, this bravery medal was also not awarded as it was too

limiting to have only one level of bravery award. Thus in 1972, the Order

of Canada was expanded to three grades, Companion, Officer and Member.

Those individuals who had received the Medal of Service were made Officers

of the Order. A distinctive military order was created, The Order of

Military Merit with three grades, Commander, Officer and Member. In

addition, the Medal of Courage was dropped and the Canadian Bravery Awards

created with the Cross of Valour, Star of Courage and the Medal of Bravery

created. These awards were to replace the British Orders and the British

bravery decorations. A new grade of Canadian honours was created in 1984

with the introduction of the Meritorious Service Cross. This single

decoration was expanded into the Meritorious Service Decorations in 1991

with the introduction of the Meritorious Service Medal and the creation of a

civil division and a military division for each medal. The medals and

ribbon of the civil and military divisions are identical except for a slim

white line down the centre of the ribbon of the civil ribbons. Canadians

still receive the Royal Victorian Order as this order is the Queen's

personal order.

8

Three other British awards deserve a mention. The Companion of Honour is

presented to distinguished British citizens and members of the Commonwealth.

Ten Canadians have received this honour. Professor Anthony (‘Tony’) James

PAWSON, OC, OOnt, CH and General John de Chastelain, OC, CMM, CD, CH.

The Order of Merit is also presented to distinguished British citizens and

members of the Commonwealth and like the Royal Victorian Order, this award

remains the prerogative of the Queen. The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien

was made a member of the Order of Merit in 1909, only the fourth Canadian to

receive this honour. This is the Order HRH Prince Phillip normally wears

around his neck in full dress uniform or in evening dress. While not an

official honour (there are no post nominal letters or ribbon), another

highly cherished honour is the Royal Victorian Chain. This is also a

prerogative of the Queen and two Canadians have received this honour.

Canadians have continued to receive some British awards but these are

relatively rare. Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Matheson Holmes received an MBE

in August 1986 and Mr. Ronald Southern, CM, CBE, received a civil CBE in

1995.

The Knighthoods section is set up in the following manner.

The names are set up in the following manner:

Canada SURNAME, Given Names Position or occupation

Gazette Birthplace Other awards received

(if not born in Canada, the age at which they arrived in

Canada is shown in brackets).

For convenience, the Provinces Ontario and Quebec have been used rather than

Upper and Lower Canada or Canada West and Canada East.

Ontario = Upper Canada (used until 1841) = Canada West (Used 1841 to 1867)

Quebec = Lower Canada (used until 1841) = Canada East (Used 1841 to 1867)

+ = When a date has the symbol + after it, this signifies that the date is

from the London Gazette and not from the Canada Gazette.

a = When a date has the symbol a after it, this signifies that the date is

not from the London Gazette or the Canada Gazette but has been reported in

another book such as Burke's Peerage.
