PARAGRAPH 21 is hereby revoked, and the following sub-
stitted:—

“21. (1.) The New Zealand Long and Efficient Service
Medal will be awarded to all members of the New Zealand
Military Forces, and to those who have retired from such
Forces, who have served efficiently in the New Zealand
Military Forces for sixteen consecutive years, or for a total
period of twenty years which need not necessarily be con-
secutive.

“(2.) Senior Cadets will be allowed to count one-half of
their efficient service in the Senior Cadets as qualifying ser-
vice for this medal; but those over the age of eighteen years
who have been retained for service as Senior Cadet N.C.Os.
will be credited with full-time service, if such be efficient,

performed by them subsequent to the date on which they
were due for posting to the Territorial Force.

“(3.) Half the period of efficient service in the Territorial
Force Reserve will be admitted as qualifying service.

“(4.) Providing applicants were members of the New
Zealand Military Forces during the period, their active service
overseas will be counted twofold. Active service during the
war of 1914–19 will be computed from date of embarkation
from New Zealand to date of disembarkation on return to
the Dominion, or date of discharge overseas, or date of
Declaration of Peace (28th June, 1919), whichever be the
earliest.

“(5.) For the purpose of this medal, applicants will be
credited with efficient service during such time as they may
have actually served—

“(a.) As members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force
in New Zealand;

“(b.) As members of the Temporary Staff of the New
Zealand Forces, subsequent to the 5th August,
1914; or

“(c.) As officers with Territorial units having been called
up for such duty temporarily, subsequent to the
5th August, 1914, irrespective of the fact that
they may have been at the time officers on the
Reserve of Officers or Retired List.

“(6.) Except in cases as provided for in category (c) of
the preceding paragraph, service in the Reserve of Officers
or Retired List will not be admitted as qualifying service
for the purpose of this medal.

“(7.) In exceptional cases, where a break not exceeding
one year occurs in the service of an applicant, the decision
as to the validity or otherwise of the claim shall be given
by the G.O.C.

“(8.) The colour of the riband of the New Zealand Long
and Efficient Service Medal shall be crimson, with two white
stripes down the centre.”
