Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct (Military)

[1][2][3] Since 2016, the eligibility was widened to include officers who had never served in the ranks, and so the medal can now be awarded to all regular members of the British Armed Forces who meet the required length of service.[4] The United Kingdom's Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was instituted by King William IV in 1830.Instead of the name of the country, the South African medal displays the all-capital inscriptions "Staande Mag" and "Permanent Force" in two lines on the suspender bar.[18] In October 2016, regulations were changed allowing the award of the clasp after an additional 10 years of service that meets conduct criteria.[18] Effective October 2016, officers who were serving in the Regular Army on or after 29 July 2014 are eligible for award of the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.[3][16] The first version of the medal, depicted at the head of the article, has a raised rim and the obverse shows the crowned effigy of King George V, in Coronation robes and facing left.This version is inscribed "GEORGIVS VI DEI: GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF:" around the perimeter, reading from a cross at the eight o'clock position.The medal shows a crowned effigy of the Queen, facing right, and is inscribed "ELIZABETH II D: G: BR: OMN: REGINA F: D:", reading around from the top.The key requirement is any period of 15 years' service in the Regular Army starting from the day of attestation irrespective of age without any entries on the individual's disciplinary record.Additionally, the period required for the award of the clasp has been reduced from 15 to 10 years with a back date to 29 July 2014 for officers and to 1 October 2016 for other ranks.
