Award CriteriaThe NZWSM was approved in 1946, and was awarded to members of the New Zealand armed forces, the National Military Reserve and the Home Guard, as well as the New Zealand Merchant Navy and Naval Auxiliary Patrol Service.[1] It was awarded in addition to,[1] and worn immediately after,[2] the standard Commonwealth campaign awards for World War II. The NZWSM was awarded for 28 days' full-time aggregated service or six months' part-time aggregated service between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945. Service brought to an end by death on duty, or due to wounds sustained on duty, or honourable discharge as a result of such wounds, automatically qualified for award of the medal.[3] DescriptionThe obverse shows the uncrowned effigy of King George VI, facing left, with the legend "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP."[4] The reverse has the inscription "FOR SERVICE TO NEW ZEALAND 1939-1945" above a fern leaf.[4] The NZWSM was issued unnamed.[3] ClaspsNone authorised Notes1. ^Ribbons and Medals, page 103 2. ^1 Royal Warrant, The New Zealand War Service Medal 3. ^1 2 British Battles and Medals, pages 256-7 4. ^1 Medal Yearbook 2015, page 193 5. ^Tim Beaglehole, A life of J C Beaglehole: New Zealand scholar (Wellington: Victoria University Press, 2006), pages 299-300.
