'''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.<ref>[http://www.king-emperor.com/Campaign%20Medals.html Campaign Medals India General Service Medal 1908-1935] King –Emperor.com</ref>
