Order Of Long Service
From Sawiki
This Order was founded by General William Booth to reward twenty-five years of service as an officer. For thirty-five years service a silver star was attached to the centre of the ribbon. The medal is rather beautifully designed. It is in cross shape with the word "'Long and Faithful Service" in blue enamel. In the middle is a miniature Salvation Army crest. The medal ceased to be awarded after World War Two (except in the U.S.A. where it continued until 1957). Subsequently the Order was signified by an actual ribbon and from the 1960s, by an enamelled badge.
