Army and Royal Air Force are published for all officer
entitlements, all multi-clasp recipients, and all personnel of
units present in less than battalion strength - in all, a total of
more than 14,000 names (civilians included). Recipients of
single-clasp medals who served with regiments and units present in
full strength are not included, partly because of the sheer volume
of names and partly because verification of these medals on the
original rolls is not so complex. The many difficulties of using
the original rolls and on-line versions are explained in the
Introduction. Hence the published rolls in this book make it
straightforward for collectors and military historians to check
officer, multi-clasp and 'odd men' entitlements to the India
General Service Medal 1908-1935. The degree of rarity of medals for
any given campaign clasp(s) to individual regiments or units
(including the Royal Air Force) is specified. In addition, this
volume includes: Rolls of Honour for the British Establishment;
Orders of Battle for the British and Indian Establishments with the
names of Commanding Officers; and many previously unpublished
photographs.
