Awarded for service for a number of small campaigns and operations in India before and after the First World War. Clasps were added for different campaigns for the North West Frontier, Afghanistan, Waziristan, Burma, Malabar and Mahsud from 1908 till 1935 with either Edward 7th or George 5th bust on the front with on the reverse the fortress of Jamrud in the Khyber Pass. This particular IGS was awarded 1909 to Private 706 Arthur Richardson of the 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment at Peshwar 14th April. Pt Richardson was also awarded the Victory, British and 1914 Star medal sadly posthumously having been killed 11th October 1916 Northern France. Aged 31 and with the rank of Lance Corporal, he has no known grave and is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial. His family came from Nottingham. The IGS were either struck by the Royal Mint or the Indian Government in Calcutta with this medal being the latter due to its plain suspender. A nice addition to my Royal Warwickshire Regiment medal collection. (N.B. replacement Ribbon).
