Medalists of the Order of the British Empire[edit]

What is a 'Medalist of the Order of the British Empire'?

I am wondering since the 'Medal of the Order of the British Empire' was discontinued during 1922 and replaced by the British Empire Medal (which is in no way part of the Associated Order).Nford24 (Want to have a chat?) 16:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I thought it odd, too. However, the BEM has been revived[1]; to quote from Order of the British Empire:

There is also a related British Empire Medal, whose recipients are not members of the Order, but who are nonetheless affiliated with the Order. The British Empire Medal had not been used in the United Kingdom or its dependencies since 1993, but was revived in 2012 with 293 BEMs awarded for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. In addition, BEM is used by the Cook Islands and by some other Commonwealth nations.

I was surprised that it was labelled as "Medalist of the Order of the British Empire" too, but that's how it appears in the Cabinet Office's list (p. 85+). However, in the Gazetted version it just says "the British Empire Medal (Civil Division)".

Why are Helen Glover MBE and Heather Stanning MBE omitted?[edit]

I am about to add them, but please revert and explain if/why I am wrong.
