HC Deb 14 January 1971 vol 809 c89W
26. Mr. Fox

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether account is taken of previous service when men and women rejoin the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve in respect of the award of the Territorial Decoration.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

Yes, subject to the regulations. Broadly these require that, on first leaving, the officer either transferred to the Regular Army Reserve of Officers or was appointed to a Regular Commission and rejoins on the day after his period of regular service ends.
