The Royal West Africa Frontier Force Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was established in September of 1903. The Silver Medal was awarded to Non-commissioned Officers and other ranks of the Royal West African Frontier Force for 18 years of exemplary service. The Medal was discontinued in 1960.

There are 2 versions of the Medal which vary in reverse inscription.
