KCB or GCB ?

In connection to my previous message, I found that there is different information about the knighthood Francis-William Austen got. Mostly it says KCB but some sources have GCB, and some have both! I'd better explain.
GCB is the highest and means: Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath.
KCB the middle one is: Commander of the Order of the Bath.
CB the lowest is: Companion of the Order of the Bath.

And observe,it has nothig to do with the city Bath.

But maybe someone can confirm wich order it was he got.
