It was not until after the victory at the Battle of Rafa that Chauvel was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George, but this particular order is awarded for important non-military service in a foreign country.
Det var først efter sejren i slaget ved Rafah at Chauvel blev ridder af Sankt Mikaels og Sankt Georgs orden, men netop denne orden tildeles for vigtige ikke-militære tjenester i et fremmed land.
