Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox award Шаблон:Multiple image The Imperial Service Medal is a medal affiliated with the Imperial Service Order. The medal was established under the statutes of the Imperial Service Order, on 8 August 1902, by King Edward VII,[1] with the first awards appearing in the London Gazette in May 1903.[2] Recipients of this order are entitled to use the post-nominal letters 'ISM'.

Eligibility

It is presented upon retirement to selected civil servants, including those belonging to the lowest support and clerical branches,[3][4] who complete at least 25 years meritorious service. It is primarily an award to manual and industrial grades, including workers in H M Dockyards and, prior to 1969 when it moved from central government control, the Post Office.[5] Prison officers were eligible prior to the establishment in 2010 of the Prison Services Long Service Medal.[6] The minimum period of service was 20½ years in India prior to independence in 1947, and 16 years in unhealthy climates in other countries.[5]

Appearance

When originally created the Imperial Service Medal was a seven-pointed star, or a laurel wreath for women, in the same pattern as the Imperial Service Order, but with the star or laurel in bronze.[7] In 1920 an amendment of the statutes changed the appearance of the medal to its current form: a circular silver medal, Шаблон:Convert in diameter, bearing the effigy of the reigning sovereign on the obverse.[8] To date, here have been six versions:[9]

The reverse bears the image of a naked man resting from his labours[9] with the inscription "For Faithful Service".[8][10] The name of the recipient is impressed on the rim of the medal. Recipients are listed in the London Gazette.[11]
