Whereas other campaign medals of the war were issued by Great Britain to all parts of the Empire, the Australian Service Medal was specifically awarded to Australians.
Initially, the qualifying criteria for the award was 18 months full-time service or 3 years part-time service during the duration of the war. This was later reduced to 30 days and 90 days, respectively. Other campaign stars are also frequently awarded, including the Africa Star, Italy Star and Burma Star, for those who saw operations service in these theatres of the conflict.

This year marks the nd anniversary of Australian and New Zealand forces landing at the Gallipoli peninsula on 25 April Since then Anzac Day has been a day of remembrance on which we commemorate all those who have sacrificed so much in conflicts since that fateful day — especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their nation.
Because of the significance of Anzac day, it is encouraging to see the growing participation of Australians, both young and old, many of whom have served themselves or wish to honour the service of their kin. Proudly wearing your own service medals or those of your ancestors is one of the most appropriate ways in which to commemorate and celebrate the Anzac Spirit.
Since military medals are usually regarded as family heirlooms, many of us may be vaguely aware of medals stashed away in cupboards and drawers for safekeeping, knowing little about their significance or how to wear and display them appropriately.
Medals are awarded to combatants and non-combatants in recognition of specific deeds such as those for gallantry or bravery and service in a specific place such as campaign medals or for a certain length of time such as long service awards. A medal consists of two parts, namely the medal itself and a ribbon from which it is suspended.
The medal ribbon is usually multi-coloured, with the colours themselves often having symbolic meaning. Each medal has a distinctive and unique ribbon. Medals are to be worn in a specific order, called the order of wear. The most senior medals are worn first. When more than one medal is worn, they should ideally be mounted together. Mounting medals not only keeps them together and in the correct order, but also presents the medals neatly with due recognition to their significance.
You can choose to have medals swing mounted or court mounted. Yes, you may. You can lodge an application with the Honours and Awards office of the Department of Defence. The application can be completed online. Original medals are generally only replaced once by the Department of Defence. However, you can order replica medals through the Military Shop to replace lost or stolen medals. At the Military Shop we offer a specialised medal mounting service.
We are also able to provide information and advice regarding your medals, their ribbons and ordering replica medals. If you would like to get your medals ready for wear or display on Anzac day, visit our website for information on placing orders online, or visit our Canberra store where our knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you in person.
