TheImperial Yeomanry Long Service Medal was a long service medal awarded by theUnited Kingdom. It is no longer awarded.
Authorised byKing Edward VII under Army Order No. 211 of 1904, the medal was awarded totroopers andnon-commissioned officers in theImperial Yeomanry for 10 years service and attending 10 annual camps.[2][3] Any previous full time service in the Regular Army did not count towards this medal, although service in other volunteer and auxiliary forces could be counted, provided that five years immediately preceding the award were served in the Yeomanry.[4]
In 1908, the Imperial Yeomanry along with theVolunteer Force were transferred to the newly createdTerritorial Force. The medal was then superseded by theTerritorial Force Efficiency Medal.[5]
Awards were published in Army Orders, with a total of 1,674 medals awarded, to men in over fifty different Yeomanry regiments,[6] including 951 awards when the medal was first established.[7]
Among the recipients was the military artistHarry Payne, who served with theQueen's Own West Kent Yeomanry.[8]

The medal hangs from a 32 mm light yellow ribbon threaded through the top ring suspender.[3][9]
