This statement is to be completed by the Commanding Officer of the Auxiliary Force in which the period of qualifying service is completed. Where the period of qualifying service is in more than one Auxiliary Force the Commanding Officer signing the statement must satisfy himself that all service reckoned is qualifying service, and as to the period to be so reckoned.
Where war service is claimed as double qualifying service a separate certificate by the applicant for the Medal will be afforded to that effect setting out the circum- stances, e.g., that he actually served outside the territory or Colony of the Forces of which he was a member or that he signed or otherwise accepted before 11th November, 1918, an obligation to do so.
