Yorkie,

The medal was manufactured at the Royal Mint and the Calcutta Mint. This is a Calcutta Mint issue.

Hope that helps,

Matthew

Another photo of the North Staffordshire Regiment in a sangar during the 3rd Anglo-Afghan War.

Yorkie1964 - are you still active on this trail. Could let me know where this photo came from? I’m researching the Third Afghan War with a focus on the role of the North Staffords.

For those interested in the Third Anglo-Afghan War or the North Staffordshire Regiment, I’ve just published a book to commemorate the 100th Anniversary. The war was fought May-August 1919. It was a fascinating short campaign, involving the mobilisation of over a third of a million troops, but one which has generally been forgotten about. Details below, but if you want any information on this topic, let me know and I will try and help.
