The Order of King George was an award from Greece, named after King George I of Greece, which was renamed to the Order of Honour in 1975. Created in 1915 by King Constantine I of Greece, it was awarded to someone who distinguished themselves in a cause for their country.
The Order is made up of five classes:

As well, there is a Memorial Cross, in gold, silver, and bronze. This was the badge of the Order without the ribbon on the left chest.
