Liverpool England Grand Commander
The title of Grand Commander is a Liverpool England military honour awarded to long-serving members of a branch of the Liverpool England military who have contributed significantly to the development of their branch or have performed important duties.
There are three different types of Grand Commandership that can be awarded, one for each area of the military. There is also a more senior version, if a person meets the criteria for award for services to more than one branch of the military. They are:
- Military Grand Commander (GCM)
- Air Force Grand Commander (GCAF), Naval Grand Commander (GCN), Army Grand Commander (AGC).
If a person is awarded a GCAF, GCN or AGC, he or she is allowed to use the title of "Commander" before their name, even if they never reached the rank of commander in service. If a person receives the honour of a GCM, they are allowed to use the title "Grand Commander" in full.
The honours are awarded by the Liverpool England Federal Parliament, after a bill nominating a candidate is tabled (by any MP) and passed. No civilian may be awarded the honour; the highest civilian honour is the Federal Gold Award. Heroic acts in military service do not have their own individual honours, and hence such acts are usually recognised with a Grand Commandership.
Diplomats, as civilians, are not allowed to be awarded the honour, unless they have had prior service in the military and would otherwise meet the criteria, or if they received the honour before becoming a diplomat, such as Commander Simon Collins.
