The obverse of this cupro-nickel medal bears the crowned head of King George VI and the legend GEORGIVS VI D: G: BR: OMB: REX ET INDIAE IMP:'. The reverse shows a victorious lion trampling on a dragon with the dates 1939-45' above. The suspender is a straight non-swivelling economy type suspender with a claw mount riveted to the medal. The ribbon is 1.25" wide and is striped going from red to blue to white from each edge and a narrow central red stripe in the centre. These colours represent the Union flag. There were no clasps awarded for this medal, but those personnel who were Mentioned in Despatches wore a bronze oak leaf on the ribbon.
