The Distinguished Service Order (DSO) is a military decoration of the United Kingdom, and formerly of other Commonwealth countries, awarded for meritorious or distinguished service by officers of the armed forces during wartime, typically in actual combat.
It was instituted in 1886 by Queen Victoria, the Royal Warrant being published on 9 November.
A bar is added to the ribbon for holders of the DSO who receive a second award.
