Silver Acorn
‘In recognition of specially distinguished service’
The Silver Acorn was first introduced as a St George’s Day Award in 1933. It is not normally awarded until after at least the Award for Merit has been gained and a further five years’ service has been completed. It is therefore seldom awarded for less than 20 years’ service.
