The General Service Medal (GSM) was first introduced in 1918 as an Army and RAF equivalent to the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM). The medal is used in place of a specific campaign medal , for example if the campaign is not very large, clasps are added to the medal to denote the campaign.

The medal has been awarded in two forms, 1918-1962 and GSM 1962 onward.
