The GSM was awarded for service in various parts of the world, except in India and East, West and Africa. This medal defines the (often inglorious) British retreat from the Empire as well as various interventions deemed necessary due to the geopolitical imbalances generated in the aftermath of the two worlds. The qualifying dates for service were between 16 June 1948 and 31 July 1960. For the Colony of Singapore, the date period was between 16 June 1948 to 31 January 1959. The ribbon, clasp and medal are in excellent condition with only a minor indentation to the lower edge. The price includes UK delivery. BA 410.
