Ribbon bar of the medal

The Royal West African Frontier Force Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was a long service and good conduct medal awarded to members of the Royal West African Frontier Force, a multi-battalion field force, formed by the British Colonial Office in 1900 to garrison the West African colonies of Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia. The medal was discontinued when the unit was disbanded in 1960 as those colonies moved towards independence.
