Commentary
Cette médaille fut instituée en 1904 sous Edouard VII pour les membres de la Militia (3e et 4e bataillon de régiment) ayant fait 18 ans de service et 15 ans de “training camp”. D’après Wikipedia, 1587 personnes auraient reçu cette décoration, la dernière ayant été décernée en 1930.
On trouve généralement sur la tranche le chiffre (1754), rang (sergent) et unité (”Devonshire regiment”) du récipiendaire (G. Mairs)
Le ruban est bleu clair et d’origine dans le cas présent (32 mm de large).
