7. In order to make such provision as shall effectually preserve pure these most honourable Decorations, it is ordained that if any person on whom either of such Decorations is conferred be guilty of any crime or disgraceful conduct which, in Our judgment, disqualifies him for the same, his name shall, by an especial Warrant under Our Royal Sign Manual, be forthwith erased from the Register of those upon whom the said Decoration shall have been conferred and his Medal shall be forfeited. And every person to whom the said Medal is given shall, before receiving the same, enter into an agreement to return the same, if his name shall be so erased as aforesaid under this regulation. It is hereby further declared that We, Our Heirs and Successors, shall be the sole judges of the circumstances demanding such forfeiture. Moreover, We shall at all times have power to regrant a Medal to any person whose Medal may at any time have been forfeited.

8. The Warrants of the 13th July, 1907, and 1st December, 1909, are hereby

revoked.

Given at Our Court at Saint James's, this Twenty-eighth day of August, One thousand nine hundred and seventeen, in the Eighth year of Our Reign.
