This series consists of a nominal card index detailing the wartime and post-war honours and awards made to the subjects.

Additionally, some cards are endorsed on the rear with address or contact details, and there are some pencil additions about reasons for awards being rejected or not made, or the current state of the honour or award process in this case.
