Comments: This medal was not authorised until nearly 30 years after the events for which it was awarded. It was never issued without a clasp and an example encountered with all three clasps is extremely rare as only 11 such awards were made and a complimentary one was sent to Colonel J. Cowie Nichols of New Zealand. Information courtesy of www.BRITISHMEDALS.INFO CANADA GENERAL SERVICE MEDAL Named to Pte. J.J.Hicks 16th Bn.
