The rarest of such awards in modern times is actually a scarf. During the Boer War, Queen Victoria and her ladies in waiting would knit scarves. When the idea was broached about rewarding non-officers for their heroism “above and beyond”, the scarves knitted by the Queen were sent to the men so honored. Very quickly, the award was to become a medal (the Victoria Cross), and the scarves have become the rarest of military honoraria. There is one on display in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa Canada. It is a simple piece, but the history is quite unique.
