The Imperial Yeomanry Long Service Medal was a long service medal awarded by the United Kingdom. Authorized by King Edward VII under Army Order No. 211 of 1904, the medal was awarded for 10 years service in the Imperial Yeomanry and attending 10 annual camps.[2][3] In 1908, the Imperial Yeomanry along with the Volunteer Force were transferred to the newly created Territorial Force. The medal was superseded by the Territorial Force Efficiency Medal.

Around the top edge is the legend, EDWARDVS VII REX IMPERATOR. The reverse bears the words IMPERIAL YEOMANRY FOR LONG SERVICE AND GOOD CONDUCT. The medal hangs from a 32 mm light yellow ribbon threaded through the top ring suspender.[3][4]
