Légion d'Honneur - name of a decoration, established by Napoléon in 1802, and given in recognition of civil and military service. The Napoleonic code demanded that Chevaliers of the Légion d'Honneur place their decoration on a field gules in the centre of their arms. This may be the reason why some communes display their decorations, including the Croix de Guerre (qv.), in their arms. FRGL
