The Queen's Birthday Honours 1955 were appointments in many of the Commonwealth realms of Queen Elizabeth II to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries. The appointments were made to celebrate the official birthday of The Queen.
They were announced on 3 June 1955, for the United Kingdom and Colonies,[1] Australia,[2] New Zealand,[3] Ceylon,[4] Pakistan,[5] and for various members of Commonwealth forces in recognition of services in Korea during 1954–1955.[6]
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour, and arranged by honour, with classes (Knight, Knight Grand Cross, etc.) and then divisions (Military, Civil, etc.) as appropriate.
