The Volunteer Officers' Decoration was created by Royal Warrant under command of Queen Victoria on 25 July 1892 to reward 'efficient and capable' officers of the Volunteer Force who had served for twenty years. In 1894 the decoration was introduced for officers of Volunteer Forces in India and the Colonies (although in the case of India the length of qualifying service was reduced to eighteen years). Colonial and Indian officers were issued with different volunteer decorations from May, 1899.

- The Volunteer Officers' Decoration was created by Royal Warrant under command of Queen Victoria on 25 July 1892 to reward 'efficient and capable' officers of the Volunteer Force who had served for twenty years. In 1894 the decoration was introduced for officers of Volunteer Forces in India and the Colonies (although in the case of India the length of qualifying service was reduced to eighteen years). Colonial and Indian officers were issued with different volunteer decorations from May, 1899. Their version had the letters "VRI" in place of the "VR". The award of the Volunteer Decoration entitled the recipient to the use of the postnominal letters V.D. after their name. The award was superseded by the Territorial Decoration in 1908.
- La médaille d'ancienneté du service volontaire a été créée par Royal Warrant sous le règne de la Reine Victoria le 25 juillet 1892 pour récompenser l'efficacité des officiers du corps de volontaires qui ont servi pendant vingt ans. En 1894, la médaille a été introduite pour les officiers du corps de volontaires des Indes et des Colonies Britanniques (l'Inde était traitée différemment, seulement 18 ans de service était requis). Certaines versions portent les lettres "VRI" (Victoria Regina Imperatrix) au lieu de "VR" (Victoria Regina). Cette médaille est devenue périmée en Grande-Bretagne lorsque le corps de volontaires a été dissout en 1908, mais on a continué de la décerner dans les colonies avec à l'avers l'effigie du monarche régnant et au revers la mention "FOR LONG SERVICE IN THE COLONIAL AUXILIARY FORCES", et les feuilles de laurier sommées d'une croix impériale. Les récipiendaires de cette récompense peuvent faire suivre leur nom des initiales "VD".
