The Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) is a British medal awarded to sergeants and warrant officers of the British armed forces for long and meritorious service. From 1916 to 1928, eligibility was extended to cover both valuable services by selected other ranks irrespective of length of service, and for gallantry not in the face of the enemy. Eligibility was widened in December 1977, with the medal now awarded on the same basis to all arms of the British armed forces.

  • De Meritorious Service Medal (Nederlands: "Medaille voor Verdienstelijke Dienst") was een onderscheiding van het Britse leger. Het Britse leger kende tot aan de Krimoorlog in 1854 behalve deze medaille voor goed gedrag in vredestijd alleen een medaille voor trouwe dienst, de Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, maar geen medaille voor de dappere onderofficieren en soldaten aan het front. Het bezit van een van de twee bestaande medailles sloot het uitreiken van de andere medaille uit. Voor hen en voor hun officieren was er alleen het Victoria Cross voor dapperheid maar dat werd maar hoogst zelden uitgereikt. Daarom werd in 1854 de Distinguished Conduct Medal ingesteld voor voorbeeldig gedrag op het slagveld. (nl)
