It ranked below the Silver Cross of Rhodesia. The medal is a bronze Maltese cross with a lion’s head on a white enamelled roundel. The ribbon colour differed by service (red Army, purple Air Force, brown Guard Force), each with three narrow white stripes. 131 were awarded, seven posthumously; one bar was awarded.
