Comments: Awarded to NCO's and enlisted men of the Territorial Army
or Territorial & Army Voluntary Reserve (T&AVR) for 12 years service. Medals encountered with the 'MILITIA'
bar were awarded to certain units in the Supplementary Reserves until
the formation of the Army Emergency Reserve in 1951.
In
1969 the bar 'TERRITORIAL' was replaced with 'T&AVR' with the
change of name from Territorial Army to Territorial & Army Volunteer
Reserve. However both the name of the force and the bar reverted
back to their former titles in 1982.
This
medal was replaced in 2000 by the Volunteer Reserves Service Medal. |
