Originally founded as a military order of chivalry, the star (or pip) is worn as army officers’ rank insignia. The insignia is that of the Order of the Bath. Members of the order now belong to either the Civil or the Military Division. The Order’s motto is Tria juncta in uno (Latin for “Three joined in one”). This is a reference to either the union of England, Scotland and Ireland, or to the Holy Trinity.
The Order is the fourth oldest of the British Orders of Chivalry, after The Most Noble Order of the Garter, The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, and The Most Illustrious Order of St Patrick.
