Unlike the 1917 New Year Honours, the 1918 honours was dominated by rewards for war efforts. As The Times reported: "The New Year Honours represent largely the circumstances of war, and, perhaps, as usual, they also reflect human nature in an obvious form. The list is one of the rare opportunities for the public to scan the names of soldiers who have distinguished themselves in service." [7]

The recipients of the Order of the British Empire were not classified as being within Military or Civilian divisions until following the war. [3] [8]

The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour and arranged by division (Military, Civil, etc.) as appropriate.
