Long Service and Jubilee Medals
Long service medals have been in service since the first issue in 1838 by Queen Victoria. As their name suggests Long service medals reward lengthy service without breaking the rules (commonly referred to as "undetected crime".).
The first Jubilee medal to be struck was done in 1887 to commerate Queen Victoria's fifthieth year. More recently the Armed forces have been issued the Queen's Golden Jubilee medal in 2002 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's fifthieth year on the throne.
