Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters &#8220;BEM&#8221; and it is divided into civil and military medals in a similar way to the Ordedr of the Britsh Empire itself. While recipients are not technically counted as members of the Order, these medals are nevertheless affiliated with it.

It was brought out of abeyance in June 2012, for the Queens Diamond Jubilee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Regimental Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">WO1 FGR Tibble &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt GI Morgan &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cpl PK Sumner&nbsp;&#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt A Iles &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt JH Stokes &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt C Green &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt A Notley &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt F Ward &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cpl AJ Pierce &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cpl DA Brittain &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">WO2 BE Darvill &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt JEC Clifton &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt B Edwards &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt MJ O\u2019Hara &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt KG Cox &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt T Evans &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt JJV McEvoy &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt G Morrish &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt JHA Needham &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt GB Ternent &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt CM Cooper &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">WO2 IS Roberts &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt DJ Townley &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sgt CF Branson &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt JDS Humphrey &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CSgt P Palmer &#8211; BEM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sourced from Wikipedia and the RGJRA &nbsp;http:\/\/www.rgjassociation.info<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">original source from www.thegazette.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Empire Medal (BEM) is a British medal awarded for meritorious civil or military service worthy of recognition by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[316,315,555,556,549,550,553,559,552,564,566,571,558,565,561,560,572,17,570,567,569,554,548,551,563,562,547,557,568],"class_list":["post-9179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-bem","tag-british-empire-medal-bem","tag-cpl-aj-pierce-bem","tag-cpl-da-brittain-bem","tag-cpl-pk-sumner-bem","tag-csgt-a-iles-bem","tag-csgt-a-notley-bem","tag-csgt-b-edwards-bem","tag-csgt-c-green-bem","tag-csgt-g-morrish-bem","tag-csgt-gb-ternent-bem","tag-csgt-jds-humphrey-bem","tag-csgt-jec-clifton-bem","tag-csgt-jha-needham-bem","tag-csgt-kg-cox-bem","tag-csgt-mj-ohara-bem","tag-csgt-p-palmer-bem","tag-memorial-at-peninsula","tag-sgt-cf-branson-bem","tag-sgt-cm-cooper-bem","tag-sgt-dj-townley-bem","tag-sgt-f-ward-bem","tag-sgt-gi-morgan-bem","tag-sgt-jh-stokes-bem","tag-sgt-jjv-mcevoy-bem","tag-sgt-t-evans-bem","tag-wo1-fgr-tibble-bem","tag-wo2-be-darvill-bem","tag-wo2-is-roberts-bem","category-6-id","post-seq-1","post-parity-odd","meta-position-corners","fix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.memorialatpeninsula.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
