A list of medals, decorations and awards, awarded to members of the ICAEW and SIAA in World War Two
At the 65th AGM of the ICAEW in 1946, the President of the ICAEW, Sir Harold G Howitt, G.B.E, D.S.O., M.C., F.C.A, announced the following:
As an institute, I think we can claim that both in the military and in the civil sphere, we have pulled our weight in the war effort and can look with pride on our contribution... It is pleasing to record that up to date, 179 honours and awards have been won by our members, including 2 V.Cs, 9 D.S.Os, 28 M.C.s, 7 D.S.C.s and 16 D.F.C.s. On the other hand it is sad to record the cost of the war, for apart from the disabled, we have lost 187 members and 211 articled clerks.
As many awards had not trickled through to the Institute by the time of the President's speech, we have been able to increase the number of known awards with our research. This amounts to 906 individual awards, 582 of which went to ICAEW members with a further 220 going to articled clerks. The remainder went to SIAA members and articled clerks.

Notes
Post nominals given in the name field indicate an award granted previous to World War 2. An asterisk indicates membership of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors which merged with the ICAEW in 1957. Two asterisks indicates an SIAA member who later became an ICAEW member. Three asterisks indicate a member who was a member of both organisations simultaneously.
The Efficiency Decoration was an awarded for officers of the Territorial Army for 12 years service (service in wartime counted double). In the List of Members it is designated by the post nominals TD, as it was known as the Territorial Decoration until 1930. The Efficiency Medal was the award given to enlisted men and non-commissioned officers.
C.B.E., M.B.E. and O.B.E.s will be under reported as the List of Members do not differentiate between military and non-military awards, so these have only been included if discovered when researching the recipients of other awards.
Mentioned in despatches will also be under reported, as there is no post nominal for that. The award itself was displayed by an oak leaf on the medal ribbon of the Victory medal. These have been included where they were already on the Roll of Honour, or have been discovered when researching the recipients of other awards.
