Explanation:
I think this answer is better than my previous one. Though, there were many google results for it. It might be a common mistake or something.

Thanks to Mr. Ghazal and Mr. Fayez for their effort. Without them I woudn't have reached this answer.

agree  Abdelmonem Samir: (Edited) I agree with Ehab's suggestion. \\ How did you go about officer in your answer? your suggestion fits with "order of the British Empire" =وسام الإمبراطورية البريطانية But when you add "officer", it becomes من الدرجة الرابعة، بدرجة ضابط، برتبة ضابط
1 hr
  -> Yes, it follows the name of the officer, e.g., Abdulmonem Samir OBE
agree  Ehab Tantawy: حامل وسام ضابط الامبراطورية البريطانية(من الدرجة الرابعة) The Order of the British Empire is the order of chivalry of the British democracy. - http://www.constable.ca/obe.htm

neutral  Mohamed Ghazal: The link says وسام (ضابط) الامبراطورية البريطانية which means that it's وسام الامبراطورية البريطانية and officer between brackets is for explanation purposes
11 mins
disagree  Ehab Tantawy: أعتقد أنه يجب ذكر حامل وسام او نوط لأنها تقدير أو درجة شرفية وليست مهنة حتى نجزم بقولنا ضابط، وإلا ما الفرق بينه وبين الضابط الموظف فعلياً في الحكومة أو المملكة البريطانية نفسها

neutral  Mohamed Ghazal: This is the translation for the order, not the officer, :p, Ramadan Kareem ya 3am, :)
3 hrs
  -> Allah Akram. Officer is a "rank", it doesn't mean "حامل". What you are saying applies to your own answer above, how did you translate officer? I agreed with Ehab who said "من الدرجة الرابعة", but you totally ignored Officer in your answer :|
