go down to the UK medals, they have them all. I can put a list together if you would like.
No, they don't have all british awards, particularly the Order of the British Empire links to a page that says:

Quote:
The Order includes five classes in civil and military divisions. In decreasing order of seniority, these are:

* Knight Grand Cross (GBE) or Dame Grand Cross (GBE)
* Knight Commander (KBE) or Dame Commander (DBE)
* Commander (CBE)
* Officer (OBE)
* Member (MBE)

Only the highest two ranks admit an individual into knighthood automatically, an honour allowing the recipient to use the title "Sir" (male) or "Dame" (female) before his or her first name (though one can be knighted separately from the Orders of Chivalry).
It may not even be all british medals, where are any naval medals?

They themseves say the list is incomplete.
