Granted to all members of the Territorial Force embodied before 30th September 1914, who had completed four years service by that date, and who had served outside the United Kingdom between 4th August 1914 and 11th November 1918. Those who had already qualified for the 1914 or 1914-15 Stars, however, were excluded. This medal is by far the scarcest of the First World War medals.
