Commander Of The Order Of The British Empire (CBE)

This Order was formed in 1917 by King George V 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. This is awarded for having a prominent but lesser role at national level, or a leading role at regional level. You can also get one for a distinguished, innovative contribution to any area.

This item is supplied ready to wear in both sizes. As the Ceremony Size award is worn around the neck you can choose from the Ceremony Size 38mm ribbon (as awarded), or 16mm ribbon (as worn). The ribbon length is set at approximately 55cm.

The Evening Dress award may be either court or swing mounted, and is of the highest quality sourced direct from the United Kingdom, Medalists to the Crown (shipping time of up to 6 weeks may be required for the Evening Dress to arrive).
