For those of us that are not familiar with The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. It is a British order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by King George V. Its purpose is rewarding contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organisations, and public service outside the Civil Service. The Order is comprised of five classes.
- Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE)[
- Knight Commander or Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE or DBE)
- Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE)
- Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE)
- Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE)
In My Humble Opinion the British always have done things with class, except maybe the Gillie Boots in question.
