Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military award

The Canada General Service Medal was a campaign medal awarded by the Canadian Government[1] to both Imperial and Canadian forces for duties related to the Fenian raids between 1866 and 1871.[2] The medal was initially issued in 1899 and had to be applied for.[3] The application period was later extended to 1907, then to 1928.[1]

With late applications, 17,623 medals were awarded,[4] including 15,300 to members of Canadian units.[3]

The medal, Шаблон:Convert in diameter, is silver and has a plain straight swivel suspender.[1] The obverse bears the head of Queen Victoria with the legend VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX, while the reverse depicts the ensign of Canada surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves with the word CANADA above.[3]
The recipient's name, rank and unit appear on the rim of the medal. A number of different impressed and engraved styles were used, reflecting that the medal was awarded over a long period of time.[1]
The Шаблон:Convert wide ribbon consists of three equal stripes of red, white and red. In 1943 the same ribbon was adopted for the Canada Medal.[5]
