They took form of inverted lace chevrons, with the first being awarded for three years service, the second for five years and the third for thirteen years.
They are normally very clearly shown for individual men in the Register of Service in ADM188.
On the 31st of March 1918, the final entries were made for those men before they were transferred to the RAF.

Thank you very much
[I note that, like me, you are a purist when it comes to chevrons "inverted". Its a very unfashionable stance, because normally these days used for LCpl Cpl Sgt point down ..... I have even seen that on sealed patterns. Indeed]
