(en)

Empire Day was introduced early in 1902 - the Irish Earl of Meath was instrumental in having the late Queen Victoria's birthday, 24th of May, declared 'Empire Day' throughout the British Dominions.

Medals were issued to those in attendance each year at the Guildhall. Dates were recorded by the suspension bars added to the red, white and blue ribbon.
