Battle Recognition Bars

Being a Visual Representation of the Number of Actions Undertaken by the Bearer in the Service of Her Imperial Majesty

The following recognitions are identical in both size and general appearance to Campaign Ribbons, although all but the higher numbered consist of but two colour bars.&bnsp Both Battle and Service Bars are worn at the centre top of the gong-board, with the Battle Bar always worn to the left (as viewed) of the Service Bar, changing as the bearer accumulates more battlefield experience.

Entitlement is based solely on the total number of battles and skirmishes the wearer has been actively involved in, each Battle Bar being worn until the bearer achieves their next Service Milestone.
