The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire was instituted in 1917 by King George V and later redesigned by King George VI in 1936.
This is the 1st type CBE awarded from its founding in 1917 until 1936. This award is a gold-coloured cross patonce inlaid with light blue enamel, surmounted above by the King's Crown, and a central medallion on the cross that is surrounded by the Order's motto 'For God and the Empire' surrounded by a scarlet enamel. The centre of the cross depicts Britannia.
This replica is of the Commander class, the third highest of the order, and is complete with a plain purple neck ribbon denoting the civilian division of the award, and a card with instructions on the wearing of the insignia.
