History
The India General Service Medal (1936-1939) was established by King George VI and instituted by Army Order in 1938 to reward members of the British and Indian army and royal air force for service in minor campaigns in the North West Frontier of India between 1936 and 1939.
The clasps "NORTH WEST FRONTIER 1936-37" and "NORTH WEST FRONTIER 1937-39" were authorized for wear with the Silver Medal, and the Medal was never issued without a clasp.
Medals manufactured in London feature an ornate claw suspension while Medals manufactured in Calcutta feature a plain claw suspension. A variety of different naming styles were used.
The Silver Medal was rendered obsolete in 1947 with India's Independence.
