Showing your age Andy, BEM is The British Empire Medal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire_Medal and https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... system.pdf
the honour was revitalised as teh British Empire Medal.
and to be REALLY picky MBE is 'Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.'

BUT still well deserved by both, congratulations

I sit corrected, sorry for doubting Andy's veracity and accuracy.
