Territorial Decoration
The
Territorial Decoration
(
TD
) is a military medal of the
United Kingdom
awarded for long service in the
Territorial Force
and its successor, the
Territorial Army
. This award superseded the
Volunteer Officer's Decoration
when the
Territorial Force
was formed on 1 April 1908, following the enactment of the
Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907
, (7 Edw.7, c.9) which was a large reorganisation of the old
Volunteer Army
and the remaining units of
militia
and
Yeomanry
. However, the
Militia
were transferred to the
Special Reserve
rather than becoming part of the
Territorial Force
. A recipient of this award is entitled to the letters "TD" after their name (post-nominal).
