Territorial Decoration
__NOTOC__ The Territorial Decoration (TD) was a military medal of the United Kingdom awarded for long service in the Territorial Force and its successor, the Territorial Army.

However, the Militia were transferred to the Special Reserve rather than becoming part of the Territorial Force. A recipient of this award is entitled to use the letters "TD" after their name (post-nominal).''The London Gazette'' no. 28181, Tuesday, September 29, 1908 (Accessed on 25 July 2015 ...
