    INDIA WOUNDED MEDAL VARIATION

    Here is the India Wounded Medal,but it's an unilingual variation (not listed in the excellent book published by Ed Haynes).

    Can someone help to translate the obverse inscription (with attribution engraved on the below part of obverse) ?

    You can download the 3rd picture on your computer and then increase its size to translate it.

    Sorry to break in where I'm not welcome. This is not the wound medal. It is the West Bengal Governor's Medal. This is why it is in Bengali, not Hindi. The name of the recipient is there at the bottom.

    A very brief post to correct some dangerous and persistent errors and misinformation regarding Korea medals above:

    Ed,

    Many thanks for the corrections and details. I am now hard at work on the new book - there's just too much new and better information out now for me to call it a revision anymore.

    I'll be contacting you offline very soon.

    Thanks to all.

    Oh, Jeff, just like the old times, I'll be calling soon 8>)
