Source: Forces War Records. The 1946 issue of this TEM covers Slinn for his WW2 service, issued for 12 years service, war service counted double which means Slinn was already in the Territorial Force at the outbreak of WW2 in September 1919 which is why he received his medal in 1946.
The Efficiency Medal, (EM) was instituted on 17 October 1930 and replaced several former long service awards including the Volunteer Long Service Medal, the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Medal, the Militia and Special Reserve Long Service Medals and the Territorial Efficiency Medal. Specifically it replaced the ‘Territorial Efficiency Medal’ of 1921 and was awarded for 12 years efficient service. Clasps were added for each additional 6 years service. WW2 service counted as accelerated qualification and was doubled toward qualification. The EM was awarded to warrant officers, NCOs and men of the volunteer Military Forces throughout the Commonwealth.
