Historical Background

The India General Service Medal 1908–1935 was awarded to British and Indian military personnel for qualifying service in various campaigns along the northwestern frontier of British India.

The North West Frontier 1930–31 clasp commemorates military operations in the frontier region, now largely part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. During this period, British Indian forces conducted operations amid tribal resistance and growing anti-colonial unrest.

The medal's tiger design symbolizes India, while the portrait of King George VI reflects the British imperial period.
