Notes

  • This Order was formed in 1917 to reward service to the British Empire in the United Kingdom and abroad. Originally having only a civil division, a military division was added in 1918 to acknowledge distinguished military service of a non-combative nature. The Order has five classes of appointment in each division and a medal of the Order. In descending order, the classes are: Grand Cross (GB) Knights and Dames Commander (KCB and DCB) Commanders (CBE) Officers (OBE) Members (MBE) Medal BEM
