Greg Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Can anyone educate me about what medal an RAF officer is entitled to when it comes to long service starting in 1940? What if he was a Chaplain Squadron Leader in the RAF Reserve? Many thanks, Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 An RAFVR officer could have qualified for the Air Effiency Award (established in 1942) for 10 years' service. In 1947, officers became eligible for the RAF LSGC if they had served at least 12 years in the ranks before commissioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thank you, kind sir. I had discovered the Air Efficiency Award but it seemed passing strange that it is called an "Efficiency" award with no mention of Long Service or Good Conduct in it's name. Greg.

paul wood Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Greg If you know the name of the recipient I can check him out. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks, Paul. But I only have a photo, a first name and some of his medals. The (practically unreadable) name on the medal box appears to be wrong. The Chaplaincy office at the RAF have supplied me with a list of all RAF Chaplains during the war with a first or second name of Charles but that is as far as I can get. None of them match the other info I have. Some mysteries will just have to stay mysteries, I suppose. Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
