The Most Noble Order of the Garter - Is awarded to long time members who have distinguished themselves in service to King and Country by leadership in both word and deed. The badge is to be worn upon the left breast pocket of the dress uniform. Of the origin of the Most Noble Order we know little. According to its historian, Elias Ashmole, it commemorated an occasion when King Edward III of England had "given forth his own garter as the signal for a battle," which Ashmole takes to be Crécy. A better-known theory associated the foundation of the Garter with a trivial mishap at a Court function, when the Fair Maid of Kent dropped a garter which the King, to cover her embarrassment, picked up and bound on his own leg, remarking, "Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense" - "Shame to him who thinks ill of it." This fable appears to have originated in France and was, perhaps, invented to bring discredit on the Order. There is a natural unwillingness to believe that the World's foremost Order of Chivalry had so frivolous a beginning, and we may more readily accept Froissart's account, who tells us:

"The King of England took pleasure to new re-edify the Castle of Windsor, the which was begun by King Arthur, and there first began the Table Round, whereby sprang the fame of so many noble knights throughout all the World. Then King Edward determined to make an Order and a Brotherhood ….. to be called Knights of the Blue Garter, and a feast to be kept yearly on St. George's Day."
