In compiling this list of Honours and Awards the following rules have been adhered to:—
1. The Rank and Regimental Number given are those held by the individual at the time the decoration was won. It thus follows that, in several cases, the same name occurs more than once but with a different rank and sometimes with a different regimental number.
2. Only Honours and Awards conferred on officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers and men for services rendered while actually serving with the Battalion have been included.
The length of the list might be considerably increased by including such names as Brig.-General R. E. Sugden, who was awarded the C.M.G. while he was G.O.C., 151st Infantry Brigade; Lieut.-Col. J. Walker, who received the D.S.O. and Bar and the French Legion d’Honneur while he was in command of the 5th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s Regt.; and several other officers. Many N.C.O.’s and men, such as Sergt. F. E. Lumb, D.C.M., also won decorations whilst attached to such units as the 147th Infantry Brigade H.Q., the 147th Machine Gun Company, and the 147th Light Trench Mortar Battery.
