The Victoria Faithful Service Medal was established by Queen Victoria in 1872 for those in the Queen's service in recognition of their long and faithful service. It was originally awarded for 25 years' cumulative service, with a clasp awarded for each additional 10 years of service (though it could be awarded sooner at the Queen's discretion). [1]
