Sudan Defence Force L.S. & G.C., bronze, unnamed, no ribbon, edge bruising, some contact marks, very fine £150-200

The Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was instituted on 4 November 1933, for award to personnel of the Sudan Defence Force (SDF) and Police, on the recommendation of the Kaid El’Amm for 18 years good conduct in the EA or SDF. Service as a boy does not count towards the medal. A bronze medal with the cypher of the Governor General of the Sudan on the obverse, and on the reverse a trophy of arms, with the words “The Sudan - For Long Service and Good Conduct” in Arabic. The ribbon is green, with broad black edges. A scarce medal with only 931 struck. Issued named and numbered.
