Sword of Honour (Pakistan)
Award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sword of Honour (Urdu: اعزازی شمشیر) is an honorary sword awarded to the "Gentleman Cadet", "Officer Cadet", "Aviation Cadet" or "Lady Cadet" who achieves the overall best performance during their training period at the Pakistan Military Academy at Kakul, the Pakistan Air Force Academy at Risalpur, or the Pakistan Naval Academy at Karachi. This award is regarded as a significant honour by the officers of the Armed Forces of Pakistan and many cadets aspire to win it. This award is usually presented at the final passing out ceremony, which takes place twice in a year at the parade grounds of the respective Academies. Usually, the President of Pakistan gives this honour.
