First line needs attention

The first line states 'The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British order of chivalry, rewarding contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organizations, and public service outside the civil service. It comprises five classes of awards across both civil and military divisions ...'

That seems to say that the civil service and military are excluded except for 'contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organizations, and public service outside the civil service.' Anthony Staunton (talk) 04:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
