Honourable Service Cross is the third highest military award presented by One Nation. It is awarded in recognition of valour during active operations against an enemy, not to the standard required to receive the Cross of Glory or the Noble Gallantry Cross. The Honourable Service Cross is one of the distinguished awards that allow its recipient the use of post-nominal letters, and might warrant a noble title.
Description
The medal is a cross with curved arms of dark blue surrounded in bronze, and superimposed bronze coin in the centre, bearing the effigy of Monarch Lilith facing left, with the inscription 'Lilith of Morobe and Vorsia Companion'. The medal is mounted to the ribbon by a clasp with the inscription 'One Nation Under Jou'. The ribbon is rectangular, made of red, bronze, grey and black coloured stripes. The ribbon bar carries a bronze cross device.
