The 152 Defence personnel (49 of whom civilans) named in the New Year Honours list for 2014 are on the following page.

So far only two awards have been spotted to people in the defence industry even though senior serving officers say how invaluable they are to keeping the front line going. Gutless politicians unwilling to risk the petty ire of Private Eye? We look forward to being corrected....and note that at least 2 MoD lawyers and 2 clergypersons got rather superior "gongs"....
