Medals Superseded By The Efficiency Medal
- Territorial Efficiency Medal: This medal had been that awarded to the Territorial Army.
- Volunteer Long Service And Good Conduct Medal: Although this medal had previously been superseded in 1908 by the Territorial Force Efficiency Medal (which itself had been superseded by the Territorial Efficiency Medal in 1921) it was still being awarded until 1930 in Bermuda, India, Isle of Man and to the 7th (Isle of Man) Volunteer Battalion of the King's (Liverpool) Regiment.
- Colonial Auxiliary Forces Long Service Medal: This medal had been in existence since 1899 before being superseded by the Efficiency Medal. The inscription on the suspender bar scroll of the Efficiency Medal was of the name of the country of the overseas (in relation to the UK) force.
- New Zealand Territorial Service Medal: This medal, instituted in 1912, had been for the Territorial Force, New Zealand. It was replaced when the NEW ZEALAND inscription on the scroll bar of the Efficiency Medal was adopted in 1931.
- Militia Long Service And Good Conduct Medal: This medal had been instituted for the Militia in 1904. Although the Militia had for the most part become the Special Reserve in 1908, they had reverted back to Militia status in 1921 and then to the Supplementary Reserve in 1924. Both Militia and Supplementary Reserve were entitled to the Militia Long Service And Good Conduct Medal. From 1930 the Efficiency Medal replaced the Militia Long Service And Good Conduct Medal. Those categories of the Supplementary Reserve whose roots lay the Militia were granted the MILITIA inscription on the suspender bar scroll.
This lasted until the formation of the Army Emergency Reserve in 1951 which had their own medal instituted (the Army Emergency Reserve Efficiency Medal.
- Army Emergency Reserve Efficiency Medal: This medal was more than a variation of the Efficiency Medal but was a medal in its own right for the Army Emergency Reserve. When the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve was created the Army Emergency Reserve was abolished, as was its associated medals and thus this medal was in effect superseded by the Efficiency Medal which from this point had a T&AVR inscription on the suspender bar scroll.

Famous quotes containing the words superseded and/or efficiency:
“When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
—D.H. (David Herbert)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
