The Cross is white; the circle with the Motto, red; and the small scroll in base, blue; all the rest being enamelled “proper.” This Badge is worn by the G.C.B. attached to a _Collar_, formed of nine Crowns and eight clusters of the Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock issuing from a Sceptre, alternating with seventeen Knots enamelled argent: or, this Badge is suspended by the G.C.B. from a broad _red Ribbon_, crossing the left shoulder. By the K.C.B. the Badge is worn from a narrower red Ribbon about the neck, or a still narrower at the button-hole. Also, by the C.B. it is attached to a narrow red Ribbon at the button-hole. [Illustration: No. 453.--Star of Knight Grand Cross (Civil).] [Illustration: No. 454.--Star of Knight Commander (Military).] The _Star_ of the G.C.B. is similar to the Badge without The Cross and the lions, surrounded by silver rays having a lozenge-shaped outline. The _Star_ of the K.C.B., which is in the form of a Maltese Cross, omits the Cross of the Badge. The C.B. have no Star. The Diplomatic and Civil INSIGNIA are--The _Badge_, No. 438, worn with the same distinctions as the Naval and Military Badge; but the C.B. Badge is of smaller size than the Badges of the two higher Classes. [Illustration: No. 438.--Badge of the Bath (Civil Division).] The _Star_ of the G.C.B. has eight silver rays encircling their Badge in a circular form. The Star of the K.C.B. is the same as that of the Naval and Military K.C.B., omitting the laurel-wreath and the small scroll and motto. The _Motto_ of the Order--TRIA . JUNCTA . IN . UNO--“Three united in one,” refers to the Union of the three Realms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, in the Order. The _Stalls_ of the Knights of the Bath, before the Order was divided into classes, and those of their Esquires, are in Henry the Seventh’s Chapel, Westminster Abbey; but no installation has taken place since 1815, when the Order was reorganised, and no new plates or banners have been set up. [Illustration: No. 455.--Order of Merit.] THE ORDER OF MERIT (O.M.) instituted in the year 1902, although it gives to its members neither style nor precedence, ranks next to the Order of the Bath, and is divided into two classes, Military and Civil. The only Insignia are the Badge and the Ribbon parti-coloured of _red_ and _blue_. The Badge is _a cross pateé of four arms_, the outline of the cross being circular. The cross is of _blue enamel_ and superimposed thereupon a smaller cross of the same design of _red_. The centre is _blue_, bearing the words, “FOR MERIT,” in gold letters within a laurel wreath. The cross is surmounted by the Royal Crown. The reverse of the Badge shows the Royal and Imperial Cypher. To the Badge _two swords saltirewise_ in the angles of the cross are added in the case of members of the Military Division.
