Interesting to have the Independence Medal. Ed, do you source these in India or, UK - a fine collection, just for these Indian ones and they all seem to be for high ranks.

Most of my collection comes from India, but a few (including this one) are from a major UK-dwelling collection that is being dispersed.

Low-rankers rarely got/get medals, while those of high rank were/are aggressive in awarding things to themselves. Indeed, pre-1947, Indians in the police rarely got medals.

Sara - I don't think Ed Heynes comes to the Forum very often. I will ask Brian Wolfe to contact you with his contact details. Best wishes and welcome to the Forum.
