	Mentioned in Despatches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the nations of the British Commonwealth, soldiers who are mentioned in despatches receive a certificate and are entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf on the ribbon of the service medal issued to soldiers who served in a conflict.
		However, General Lee would sometimes mention individual soldiers and units in his dispatches, and this was considered to be the highest honor among Confederate soldiers.
		The mentions are awarded for gallantry to any member of the French military or its allies and are, depending on the degree, roughly the equivalent for US Bronze Star Medal and Silver Star Medal or UK Military Cross and Military Medal.

		A mention in despatches is very much as your friend describes.
		It is when a soldier (not necessarily an officer, by the way) has distinguished him (or her) self has that bravery (it has to be considerably more than 'positive behaviour) described in the official military report (the 'despatch') I don't know whether it originated in India, but it still happens.

	National Union of Journalists : Mentioned in Dispatches — the ethical price of probing collusion
		Likewise, if there is no trust between the confidential source and the journalist, it destroys the concept of honesty in the verification of the evidence given by that source.
		In this respect, I speak from frontline investigative experience as one of the researchers on the October 1991 Channel Four Dispatches programme, The Committee, which probed allegations of collusion between the then Northern Ireland police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and loyalist death squads.
		More than a decade on from the transmission of that programme, I am as firmly committed to the concept of source protection as I was in 1991 when, as a full-time journalist, I was interviewed by the RUC concerning my Inner Circle source.
