dc.description	<p>The following particle embodies an analysis of the following four publications, relating to the</p> <p>South African award structure:<br />(i) Fforde, J.P.!. & Monick, S. <em>A guide to South African orders, decorations and medals and their ribbons </em>1896-1985. Johannesburg:<em> </em>South African National Museum of Military<em> </em>History, 1986.<br />(ii) Monick, S. <em>South African military awards </em>1912-1987. Johannesburg: South African<em> </em>National Museum of Military History, 1988.<br />(iii) Monick, S. <em>Awards of the South African uniformed public services </em>1922-1981. Johannesburg:<em> </em>South African National Museum of<em> </em>Military History, 1988.<br />(iv) Monick, S. <em>South African civil awards 1910-1990. </em>Pending publication by the<em> </em>South African National Museum of Military<em> </em>History in January 1991.</p><p><em> </em></p> <p>The term "analysis", as opposed to "review", merits considerable emphasis. For it is, of course, impossible for an author to furnish an objective appraisal of his/her own works. Rather, the central motive underlying this article is to provide the reader with a profile of a research project undertaken by the South African National Museum of Military History. The publications cited above absorb and disseminate the products of that research, which may be defined as a structured presentation of the evolution and development of the South African award structure; including an in-depth analysis of the central themes or characteristics of this pantheon.</p>
