 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm updating a personnel list at work and someone who already has an OBE and ADC has now been awarded a CBE. Does the CBE replace all the others or do I just stick it on the end?
I'm far too common to know all this shtick.
I think you list them all.
Correct order to put them in here:

Thanks Tom, really helpful, hadn't thought of Debretts.
I didn't spot anything in Debretts about listing OBE and CBE - as I understand it, CBE is a promotion from OBE so you would only list the CBE. CBE OBE would be like addressing an army officer by all the ranks they had held.
Hmmm, I'm going to find someone posh to ask.
Ask the Commander. As long as you've got the 90 minutes for the full story (plus video) and the grovelling explanation why it was an honour that Prince Charles did the investiture, not Her Maj.
I think Greybeard is correct.
Yours faithfully,
Sir SaxonRider, ABC., DEF., HIJ., KLM.
I went with CBE, ADC (made sense what you said Greybeard), now just waiting for the acceptance of silence or an ear-chewing down the phone (either way I'm off to BPW in two weeks so who cares).
