History


The Military Long Service Decoration was originally founded by King Friedrich Wilhelm III and was conferred upon non-commissioned officers and enlisted men for distinguished and loyal military service.

The recipient's service during wartime counted for double the service time.

The I Class Bar was awarded in recognition of 21 years of service.
