The Royal Naval Reserve Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was awarded to recognise long and efficient service by members of the Royal Naval Reserve. The George VI version was issued from 1937 to 1952 and features the King’s effigy on the obverse.
Awarded to ratings and non-commissioned officers of the Royal Naval Reserve who completed at least 15 years of efficient service with an unblemished record. Wartime service counted as double towards the qualifying period.
The circular silver medal features the crowned effigy of King George VI on the obverse, surrounded by the inscription GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX ET INDIAE IMP: (earlier issues) or GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D: (later issues). The reverse depicts a three-masted sailing ship in full sail, surrounded by the inscription FOR LONG SERVICE AND GOOD CONDUCT.
The ribbon is green with narrow white stripes at each edge, representing the maritime tradition of the Royal Naval Reserve.
SPECIFICATIONS:Every replica medal can be supplied loose or mounted ready to wear. Here's how the options differ, so you can choose the right one.
The medals are fixed to a stiff backing board so they sit flat and stay in line while worn. It's the neatest presentation, and serving members of the Australian Defence Force are required to wear their medals court mounted.
Each medal hangs freely from its ribbon below a top bar. This was the usual style from the Boer War through to World War II, and there are no fixed rules about who can wear it.
Just the ribbons, mounted in order of precedence on a small bar. Ribbon bars are worn on uniform day to day, when full medals would be impractical.
The medal and ribbon come as separate parts, ready for you or your mounter to assemble. Full size medals come with 30cm of ribbon and miniatures with 15cm.
Miniatures are mounted the same way at a smaller scale. They're worn at evening and formal events, generally anything after 6pm such as dinners, where full size medals would be impractical.
Every style comes with a traditional pin or a magnetic fitting. Magnetic mounts hold firmly without putting holes in your jacket or uniform, and are easier to put on and take off, which helps anyone with limited dexterity.
