Many Soldiers are not aware that their Regiment (for example the Signal Regiment) has an awards process in place. Signaleers can be awarded the Bronze Order of Mercury for especially distinct service, as long as they are members of their Regimental Association and are recommended by a member in good standing.

According to history, Samuel Sharpe was appointed to many positions in government during the very early years of this country.
