  • 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.

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 dissous 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". (fr)

The grant of the decoration was extended in 1894 by the institution of a separate new decoration, the Volunteer Officers' Decoration for India and the Colonies, that could be awarded to commissioned officers of all Volunteer Forces throughout the British Empire and India.
