History
The India General Service Medal (1854) was established by the Governor-General of India in late 1853 and was later approved in March 1854. The Medal was created in commemoration of successful campaigns lead in India from 1849-1895. It was permanently discontinued in 1895 and was replaced by the India Medal in the following year. The Medal was awarded to British and Indian Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and enlisted men of the British Army, the Honourable East India Company Army, and later the Indian Army, in recognition of participation in battles during these campaigns. The Medal was originally awarded in a single silver grade to all ranks, but after 1885, it was also awarded in a lesser bronze grade to non-combatants.
