Description

The Naval General Service Medal 1915-1962 is a prestigious British military award instituted in 1915. It was designed to recognize the service of members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, as well as members of allied forces, in minor operations for which no separate medal was instituted. The award serves as an acknowledgment of their dedication and commitment during these lesser-known but equally significant campaigns.

Eligibility for the Naval General Service Medal 1915-1962 requires the following:

  • Active service in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, or allied forces during specific minor military campaigns or operations.
  • Fulfillment of the service period or engagement stipulations attached to each clasp, with each clasp representing a different campaign or operation.

The medal, with a diameter of 36 millimeters, is silver and features a design deeply rooted in naval tradition. The obverse of the medal showcases the reigning monarch's effigy at the time of issue. For example, medals issued during the reign of King George V displayed his bust in the uniform of an Admiral. The reverse side features an image of a battleship at sea with a submarine in the foreground and an aircraft in the sky, signifying the various branches of the naval service.

The accompanying ribbon, 32 millimeters wide, is navy blue with white edges, symbolizing the naval heritage of the award.
