Gerald Mc Pherson is the latest Odd Bod to be awarded the
French Legion of Honour. The Legion of Honour, or in full the National
Order of the Legion of Honour (French: Ordre national de la Légion
d'honneur), is a French order established by Napolean
Bonaparte on 19 May 1802. Napoleon believed France wanted a recognition
of merit rather than a new system of nobility.
The Order is the highest decoration in France and is divided
into five degrees of distinction. A number of Australian Airmen have received the
honour in recognition of outstanding services in the liberation of France during
the Second World War.
Our congratulations go out to all the following Odd Bods who
have received the honour. If we have missed your name, please let us know.
