The medal appears to have clasps which, in my opinion, makes it to be either the Indian Mutiny Medal or the Second China War Medal. The Crimean War Medal would be accompanied by the Turkish Crimea...

It looks like something that would be worn by the nutters decribed by Oscar Wilde as "The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable".

Markus, the OSD collar badges of the 1911-1918 period were the same size as the cap badges, the only difference being in the fixings. The cap badges had tangs and the collar badges had lugs like the...

Replaced by the Elizabeth II pattern in time for the Coronation that took place on June 2nd 1953. I dare say the old pattern was still worn after that date in the far-flung places that British troops...

At that period in time the MPSC was other ranks only. Officers were seconded from their own units. Those badges with the wreath are not MPSC in spite of what some publications might have us believe.
