  • KBE - 1920's

    Does anyone know if there are any websites which give lists of all knighthoods awarded in each year?

    One of my distant cousins was supposedly given an honorary knighthood in the 1920's for services to Britain during the war (He was a Dutch national) and I would like to find the date it was given, and if possible more details. I have found mentions of him getting this award on the web, so assume this info to be correct.

    Thanks

    Search for their name on the London Gazette. That may list it.

        Thanks Phil and Edna - unfortunately not mentioned in either of those sites. However on the list on Wikipedia one of the people mentioned,(Henri Deterding) was given his KBE at the same time, so that would make the year 1920.

        Thanks again,

        Linda
