Ribbon Bar, St John Long Service Extension Medal
The ULS Medal Extension is awarded upon completion of 50 years of qualifying service, replacing the silver Service Medal. It is not worn together with the original Service Medal.
Members who currently hold a silver Service Medal with Laurel Leaf will be issued a ULS Medal as a direct replacement. After receiving the ULS Medal, members become eligible for a gold service bar for every additional five years of qualifying service.
All entitlements awarded on the full‑size medal are reflected on the ribbon bar. Gold service bars issued for additional service are matched with the appropriate ribbon‑bar device, ensuring consistency between the medal bar and ribbon bar for uniform wear.
a. 50 years – Service Medal (no device)
b. 55 years – Service medal (1 Gold Device)
c. 60 years – Service Medal (2 Gold Devices)
d. 65 years – Service medal (3 Gold Devices)
e. 70 years – Service medal (4 Gold Devices)
The thin ribbon bar version includes built-in mounting pins and butterfly clutches. When ordering different ribbon bars they will be mounted as one unit, unless specified when ordering.
The slide version of the ribbon bars require a ribbon mount, sold separately.
