unknown British decoration - ambulance association

[KDVR]

Dear friends

I got that British decoration but I don't have an idea of its background and value. Is there someone who can tell me more about it? Possible to show a complete one - with ribbon?

Thank you and best wishes

It is not an official medal awarded by the government

The St John Ambulance Service is a charitable organization with worldwide links

It looks to be a commemorative. . . perhaps for long service

The hallmarks on the reverse lower arm suggest silver gilt. Zoom in on those-- they will provide the exact year it was made. JUST too small for my tired eyes to see in your camera shot.

@ 1925, made in Birmingham,silver, I reckon.

Awarded for passing the first three first aid tests. See here:
