OBE
« on: Friday 15 September 06 08:46 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I had a quick google, but didn't come up with what I wanted...

Is there anywhere that you can get a list of people awarded OBEs and the like?

Thanks

Hi Caz,

If you know when the OBE was awarded you should find it in newspaper archives; I'd try the Times or Daily Telegraph.

Hmmm, no idea really  :-\

(and I suspect it's a lie too  ;) )

I'll ask about again and see if I can narrow it down, thanks :)

Thanks Scroppers,

I can't see an earlier link but I'll have another look. It would probably help if I knew what year I needed  ::)
