Major Hon Arthur Orlando Wolston Cecil Weld-Forester Grenadier Guards died on wounds on the 1st/11th/1914 according to ODGW. What does the M.V.O. stand for. Thanks in advance.

Frajohn Posted 1 November , 2006 Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Hi Quite happy to be shot down over this suggestion, however it could represent "Member of Victorian Order" Although it should be used as post-nominal letters. British order of knighthood instituted by Queen Victoria in 1896 to reward personal services rendered the monarch. As it is a family order, conferment of this honour is solely at the discretion of the British sovereign. Knights and Dames Grand Cross use the post-nominal letters "GCVO," Knights Commanders "KCVO," Dames Commanders "DCVO," Commanders "CVO," Lieutenants "LVO" and Members "MVO." (When Lieutenants were known as Members of the Fourth Class, they also used "MVO.") Recipients of the Royal Victorian Medal use "RVM." regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
