Cadet Forces Medal 2nd Award QC Miniature Bar

The Cadet Forces Medal 2nd Award Miniature bar bearing the Queens Crown is awarded for long and efficient service. 

Periods of service to qualify for the bar have varied, originally requiring 12 years of continuous service, but only 6 years were required during WWII. In 1971 the qualification period was reduced to 8 years, and in 1991 it was reduced to 6 years. 

Multiple awards can be given and up to 3 bars can be worn on the medal ribbon. The miniature bars are just slipped onto the ribbon and sit just above the medal. When a fourth additional award is achieved the bars are removed and replaced by a gold rose. When wearing a ribbon bar the 2nd award bars would be represented with a silver rosette for each bar.

The bar is silver with the Queens Crown in the centre and a silver outline around the edge of the bar and down the side of the Crown on each side. These bars are also available with the Kings Crown and the bar you require would be determined by which monarch you served the majority or all of your service under.
