"The Meritorious Service Medal is awarded each year by the National Board of the Returned & Services League of Australia, as an honour over and above Life Membership and on a restricted basis. There are members within our Sub-Branches who have given exceptional service over a sustained period of time and deserve to be acknowledged in a particular way. This award caters for those members."
