The 1947 King's Birthday Honours were appointments by many of the Dominions of King George VI to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries.
The appointments were made "on the occasion of the Celebration of His Majesty's Birthday."
They were announced in supplements to the London Gazette of 6 June 1947.
At this time the two lowest classes of the Royal Victorian Order were "Member (fourth class)" and "Member (fifth class)", both with post-nominal letters MVO.
"Member (fourth class)" was renamed "Lieutenant" (LVO) from the 1985 New Year Honours onwards.
