Qualifying Service.
(4) The medal will be awarded to warrant officers, N.C.O.s, and men of the New Zealand Permanent Forces who complete eighteen years' qualifying service, whose character and conduct have been irreproachable throughout such service, and who are recommended by their Commanding Officer.

(5) The requisite service must have been performed in the British Regular Army or in the Permanent Military Forces of any British Dominion or Colony. Service of a soldier under eighteen years of age may be included in the eighteen years’ service required to qualify, and also mobilized or embodied service in any militia or authorized auxiliary force of the Empire, or Colour Service in any permanent military force of the Empire provided that such service has not been reckoned towards the award of any other long service or efficiency medal. Service of European soldiers on the West Coast of Africa and certain parts of the Sudan is allowed to reckon double, under the same conditions as are laid down in the Pay Warrant for the British Army, for counting double service towards pension.

(6) Previous service in the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, or the Royal Air Force, or any other regular, naval, or air force of the Empire, if acknowledged on attestation, may be allowed to reckon towards the eighteen years, provided that during such service the character and conduct of the individual were of such a standard as would be admissible towards the award of the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

(7) When a soldier awarded the medal is convicted of an offence which renders him ineligible for an exemplary character, as provided by King's Regulations, and in any other case where it is considered that the soldier's conduct ceases to allow his character to be assessed as exemplary, the case will be reported to General Headquarters for such action as may be deemed appropriate, and it shall be competent for the G.O.C. to deprive him of the medal.

(8) The fact that a soldier fulfils the conditions gives him no claim to the medal, and all awards will be subject to the recommendation of the Officer Commanding the Command, or, in the cases of those soldiers who are not serving in a Command, to the recommendation of their Commanding Officer.

(9) Applications will be submitted to General Headquarters through the usual channels, and, if the award is not recommended, must be accompanied by a certificate setting out the reasons why, in the opinion of the officer making the certificate, the award should not be made. Where the award is recommended the application must be accompanied by a certificate from the Officer Commanding the Command or the Commanding Officer, as the case may be, that the soldier is not ineligible for the award of an exemplary character by reason of entries in any official document in his possession.

(10) Applications for the medal will be reviewed by General Headquarters, and awards will be subject to the approval of the G.O.C.
