Red Shirt and Afridi Rebellions

Clasp to the India General Service Medal 1908-1935

A clasp "North West Frontier 1930-31" was awarded for service during the Red Shirt and Afridi Rebellions on the North-West Frontier of India between 23rd April 1930 and 22nd March 1931. While the Afridi uprising was a traditional Frontier tribal revolt, the Red Shirt Rebellion was essentially political in nature, inspired by the Indian Independence movement unfolding in the rest of British India. As such, it was a first for the Frontier.[1]

Details of the the clasp eligibility are available.[2]
