Footnote: The District Service Medal was issued for service on operations undertaken for the purposes of combating terrorist or enemy incursions into Rhodesia. It is a controversial medal, as it is defined as having the same eligibility as that of the Rhodesia General Service Medal (RGSM), but was only awarded to black District Assistants and District Security Assistants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
