There are nearly 200 distinct strings representing some kind of award/citation/honour in the DB right now. I pruned the list of official awards (like the Military Cross) and am left with 146 honours of some sort that I'd like to deal with.
I'm thinking that we could move them to a researcher's note, or create an array field in the data.person table called 'honours'. Either way, I'd also like to create an info page that explains what each one is and why it was generally awarded - they all sound impressive, but some were just for participating and others were basically rich dudes giving chums a bauble. In any case, there are some interesting stories in there.
Here's the list (spelling not corrected):
