Ribbon Variations
- Original Ribbon: The main ribbon was originally plain dark green with yellow edges, in keeping with the Territorial Efficiency Medal ribbon.
- T&AVR Alteration: In 1969 this was altered to half blue, half green, with yellow edges following the formation of the T&AVR. Even after 1982 when the TERRITORIAL inscription replaced the T&AVR inscription, this new ribbon remained in place.
- Honourable Artillery Company: For members of the Honourable Artillery Company the ribbon differed, being a half blue, half scarlet ribbon, with yellow edges. This distinction was bestowed by King Edward VII for the Volunteer Long Service And Good Conduct Medal and the honour extended to the same medals under the Territorial designations. The HAC ribbon colours were the household colours of King Edward VII.

Famous quotes containing the words ribbon and/or variations:
“For this your mother sweated in the cold,
For this you bled upon the bitter tree:
A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
A paper wreath; a day at home for me.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
