INDIA GENERAL SERVICE MEDAL

This medal, shown here as the reverse of the second of three design types, was the result of an Army order sanctioning a new medal for service in India. It is shown with the Abor 1911-12 clasp, which was awarded for service in the later pacified Abor region. It was one of only two clasps for bronze medals that were allowed to be awarded to Indian followers of the British Army, the other bearing North West Frontier 1908.
