It’s my recollection that Harris was the only senior commander to not receive a knighthood.

On a personal note, some years ago I traveled to Dresden, and got a west German to make reservations for me in that city. (It was shortly after the wall came down.). The innkeeper repeatedly questioned whether I was American or English. He had ample accommodation for an American, but nothing available those dates if I was British.

I also believe Bomber Command was the only major component of the British military not to get their own campaign ribbon.
