Includes the Medal Rolls of the British 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with the names of Commanding Officers; and many previously unpublished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.
