The Reserve Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was the Long Service Medal of the reserve forces of the Royal Navy. The medal was presented for 15 or 12 years of service by Petty Officers and ratings of the Royal Naval Reserve, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, Royal Fleet Reserve, and Royal Naval Wireless Auxiliary Reserve.[1] Established in 1909, the medal was replaced by the Volunteer Reserves Service Medal.[2]
The Royal Fleet Reserve LS&GCM was awarded for 15 years combined Active and Reserve Service and was discontinued on 1 April 2000. This particular LS&GC award was being discontinued, in order to bring the Royal Navy in line with the other two services, which did not separately recognise service in the regular reserves in such a way.
