Named 1939- 1945 war medal (british)
over the weekend picked up one of these medals that has been named around the rim to an indian army recipient, just wondered if this would have been done officialy or privately ?, I believe australian and canadian versions were named but have not been able to find any confirmation on indian versions.
the details are :
190556 SWPR (sweeper ?) HARSUKH I.A.M.C (indian army medical corps ?)
many thanks, John.

I read somewhere that after the Partition of India WWII medals named to Pakistani recipients weren't named, whereas those to Indians were, but can't remember where I read it.

Hi John,
My Grandad's 39-45 Medal issued in 1997/98 wasn't named & a couple of other 39-45 War medals I have owned, were not named either.
Regards
Paul

all the indian army medal groups i have owned have been named, i think they were done officially.

That's my impression as well. I only have two WWII Indian Army groups, to the 5th Gurkha Rifles, and Probyn's Horse. All medals are named on both groups.
