NOTE ON AWARDS FOR GALLANTRY; ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND BRITISH EMPIRE MEDAL

Appointments to, or promotions in, the Order of the British Empire and awards of the British Empire Medal, granted after 14th January, 1958, for gallantry, are so described, and a silver oak leaf Emblem is worn on the riband. When the riband only is worn the Emblem is worn in miniature. Classification of an award as made for gallantry has no effect on seniority or precedence in the various Classes of the Order. A person appointed to the Order after 14th January, 1958, for gallantry, and subsequently promoted in the Order, retains and wears the Emblem whether promoted for gallantry or otherwise. A holder of the British Empire Medal, for gallantry, granted since 14th January, 1958, if subsequently appointed to the Order, continues to wear the Emblem on the riband of the Medal and wears the Emblem also on the riband of the Order only if appointed to the Order for gallantry.
