No roll is known for this rare medal of which just 99 were awarded between 1921 and 1934 when it was superseded by the Colonial Police Long Service Medal.

Anthony Glaea subsequently served as a Corporal (No. 1453) in the King’s Own Malta Regiment and was awarded the Efficiency Medal (Malta) in Army Order 69 of March 1946. He was discharged in 1951.
