From Wiki :

Good conduct stripes (called 'Good Conduct badges' in the Royal Navy), are worn by Able Seamen, Leading Seamen, and Petty Officers on the left arm, below the substantive rate (rank) badge in numbers 1A, 1B and 1C dress, and 1AW dress as well.(white tunic option only for Petty Officers.)

Originally introduced in January 1849, they were originally awarded for 5, 10 and 15 years. Good conduct badges were awarded at the rate of 1d per diem.

In June 1860, this was changed and they were awarded for 3, 8 and 13 years.

From 1 June 1946, Good Conduct Badges awarded after 4, 8 & 12 years , stripes can be deprived for bad behaviour, and restored for good.
