Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal Miniature

Instituted: 1830

Branch of Service: Army.

Ribbon: Plain crimson was used till 1917 when white stripes were added to the edges. 

Description: Over the long period in which this medal has been in use it has undergone a number of changes. Until 1901 the obverse bore a trophy of arms with the royal arms in an oval shield in the centre while the reverse bore the inscription "For long service and good conduct".

Comments: Originally awarded to soldiers of exemplary conduct for 21 years service in the infantry or 24 years in the cavalry, but in 1854 the qualifying period was reduced to 18 years and in 1977 to 15 years. During the Second World War commissioned officers were permitted to acquire this medal so long as they had completed at least 12 of their 18 years service in the ranks.
