REGULATIONS FOR THE NEW ZEALAND MILITARY FORCES, 1913.

Appendix IX.—Colonial Auxiliary Forces Long-service Medal.

PARAGRAPH 19 is hereby revoked, and the following substituted:—

19. The Colonial Auxiliary Forces Long-service Medal is issued in accordance with the Royal Warrant of the 25th January, 1923, subject to the following conditions:—

(1.) The medal shall be awarded to duly qualified members of the New Zealand Territorial Force.

(2.) The period of service requisite to qualify for the medal shall be twenty years (which need not be continuous) rendered wholly in the New Zealand Volunteer or Territorial Forces or partly in those Forces and partly in the Auxiliary Forces of another dominion, colony, or protectorate, the Territorial Army of Great Britain, or any Naval or Military Volunteer Force of any part of the Empire (except service since 4th August, 1914, in the Volunteer Force of Great Britain raised under the Volunteer Acts, 1863–1916). Service on the West Coast of Africa shall reckon twofold as qualifying service.

(3.) Service on the Permanent Staff of any of the auxiliary forces of His Majesty’s dominions, colonies, dependencies, or protectorates by members of the Permanent Forces shall not be counted towards qualifying service.

(4.) A member of the New Zealand Territorial Force who was serving on a voluntary agreement on the active list or the reserve of that Force on the 4th August, 1914, shall be entitled, providing he actually served, or was attested and thereby accepted the obligation for service, beyond the boundaries of the Dominion, to count all embodied service on the active list during the period of the war of 1914–1919 twofold as qualifying service towards the requisite twenty years, whether such service was in the Naval Forces, Military Forces, or Air Forces.

(5.) Service after seventeen years of age in a Volunteer Cadet Corps in New Zealand, which existed prior to the 17th March, 1911, shall be admitted as full-time qualifying service towards the medal, but other cadet service is inadmissible.

(6.) Nothing in these regulations shall permit service to count more than twofold towards the award of the medal.

(7.) An officer who has served in the ranks of the New Zealand Volunteer or Territorial Forces or of the Territorial Army of Great Britain, or of the auxiliary forces in any other part of the Empire, but who is not qualified for the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Officers’ Decoration, shall, on completing twenty years’ service in all, be eligible to receive the medal, but, should the aforesaid decoration subsequently be conferred upon him, he shall not be called upon to surrender the medal, but he shall not be permitted to wear it until such time as he has completed the full periods required for both decoration and medal.

In order to be entitled to wear both the decoration and the medal an officer must, therefore, have completed, in addition to the twenty years’ qualifying service for the medal, twenty years’ qualifying service for the decoration. In other words, in so far as the wearing of both the decoration and medal is concerned, no qualifying service towards one award is permitted to count towards the other.

(For example: An officer who serves in the ranks for twenty years and is awarded the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Long-service Medal would count half service in the ranks (ten years) towards the decoration. After a further period of ten years’ commissioned service he would be eligible for the award of the decoration, but would have to complete another ten years’ service before he could be permitted to wear both the medal and the decoration.)

(8.) Applications for the medal shall be made on Form N.Z. 76 D., and will be forwarded through the usual channel to General Headquarters. Where officers have served part of the necessary qualifying service in the auxiliary forces of the Empire, other than those of New Zealand, proof of such service, in the form of certified true copies of certificates or other documents, must accompany their applications.

(9.) On the approval of the General Officer Commanding the N.Z. Military Forces, this medal shall be forfeited for any one of the following reasons:—

If the recipient—

(a.) Suffers death by sentence of a Court-martial.

(b.) Is cashiered.

(c.) Is dismissed or removed from the Forces for misconduct.

(d.) Is convicted by the Civil power of a criminal offence.

(10.) A medal forfeited under subparagraph (9) hereof may be restored on the approval of the General Officer Commanding.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General this 30th day of June, 1924.
