commissioned officers and Chaplains of the New Zealand
Territorial Force, (b) honorary Colonels who, before their
appointment as such, had performed the requisite qualifying
service, and (c) officers who have retired and who, at the
time of their retirement, had completed the requisite service.

(4.) The period of service requisite to qualify for the
decoration shall be twenty years' commissioned service ren-
dered wholly in the New Zealand Volunteer or Territorial

Forces and partly in the Auxiliary Forces (i.e., other than
Permanent Forces) of one or more Dominion, Colony, or
Protectorate, partly in the Territorial Force of Great Britain,
or partly in any Naval or Military Volunteer Force in any

Volunteer Acts, 1863–1916).

(5.) Half the time served in the ranks of the New Zealand
Volunteer or Territorial Forces, in the ranks of the Auxiliary

(6.) Service on the West Coast of Africa shall reckon
two-fold as qualifying service.

(7.) An officer of the New Zealand Territorial Force who
was serving on a voluntary agreement on the active list or

entitled, provided he actually served, or was attested and
thereby accepted the obligation for service, beyond the
boundaries of the Dominion, to count all embodied service

twenty years, whether such service was in the Naval Forces,
Military Forces, or Air Forces.

(9.) Service after seventeen years of age in a Volunteer
Cadet Corps in New Zealand, which existed prior to 17th
March, 1911, shall be admitted as qualifying service towards
the decoration, commissioned service being reckoned as full
time and rank service as half time.

(10.) Nothing in these regulations shall permit of service
to count more than two-fold towards the decoration.

Medal" which may have been awarded to him, provided that
he has completed the full qualifying service required for both

N.Z. Army Form No. 76E, and where officers have served
part of the necessary qualifying service in the Auxiliary

tion.

Decoration who suffers death by sentence of court-martial,
or is cashiered, or dismissed, or removed for misconduct
from the Naval, Military, or Air Forces shall forfeit the
decoration (unless otherwise decided by the Governor-General).

If a recipient of the decoration is convicted by the Civil
power, or is dealt with under the Offenders Probation Act,
or is called upon to resign his commission, he shall, on the
approval of the Governor-General, forfeit the decoration.

A decoration forfeited by an officer may be restored to him
by the Governor-General.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-
General, this 26th day of June, 1922.
