An Interesting Three Clasp India General Service Medal to the Hampshire Regiment for the Burma Campaigns, India General Service medal 1854-95 with clasps Burma 1889-92, Burma 1887-89 and Burma 1885-7, engraved naming, ‘661 PTE. A DUKE 1ST BN HAMPS R.’ Good example. 19 year old Alfred Duke from Cranford, Bournemouth, attested for service with the 1st Battalion Hampshire Regiment at Winchester on 20th January 1883. He served for a total of 13 years 212 days before being discharged on 18th August 1896. Her served in India from January 1886 until November 1888 and in Burma from November 1888 until January 1891, he transferred to the Scottish Rifles with service number. He reattested for War Service on 28th January 1915 but appears to have ‘miscalculated’ his age stating he was 44 when he was actually 51. He was discharged as unfit for military service after 133 days service. He appears on the rolls for the medal with the clasps Burma 1189-92 and 1887-89 but we have been unable to confirm the Burma 1885-7 clasp. Late Rod Flood collection
