Original Item: One-of-a-kind. The Africa General Service Medal, established in 1902, was a campaign medal of the United Kingdom. It was awarded for minor campaigns that took place in tropical Africa between 1900 and 1956, with a total of forty five clasps issued. The medal is never seen without a clasp and some are very rare. Most medals were granted to British led local forces, including the King’s African Rifles and the West African Frontier Force. The only campaigns where European troops were present in any numbers were the various Somaliland campaigns, (including to the Royal Navy), and in Kenya.

This example includes a Somaliland 1902–04 clasp for participation in a number of Somaliland campaigns against rebels led by Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, nicknamed the ‘Mad Mullah’ by the British. As well as locally raised forces and the King’s African Rifles, participants included British and Indian army units and the Royal and Indian Navies. The Jidballi clasp, awarded to those involved in the defeat of Hassan on 10 January 1904, was always given with the Somaliland 1902–04 clasp.

The rim of the medal in impressed to read:
GNR. G.R. LUCAS. R.I.M.S. CLIVE.

GNR stands for Gunner.

R.I.M.S. stands for Royal Indian Marine Ship.

Medal is offered in very good to excellent condition.

This medal was originally acquired in the 1960s and is still contained in an original Merchants Bank Safety Deposit Envelope. It remained in a private collection since being acquired in 2020.
