India General Service Medal |

The India General Service Medal -
Afghanistan 1919, was issued to some servicemen from the 1/25th. However
the Medal Cards show that not all the soldiers of the regiment received
this medal. Some may have been in administration jobs, such as Harry
Parker, who in 1919 was pictured in a photo of the Field Revision Office
in Poona. His certificate of service list his occupation as a clerk from
7 Dec 1918 to Sept 1919 at the M.A. Depot, Poona. Persons interested in
knowing if their ancestor received the GSM need to obtain the relevant
Medal Card from The National Archives
or Ancestry. However I have
copies of many of the medal cards and I am happy to help if you email me
:- The reverse side features the fortress of Jamrud, 'The Gateway to the Kyber Pass'. |
