About MeThis medal was awarded for services during the famous mutiny of native troops.
Originally authorised to troops who had fought against the mutineers it was later extended to all who had borne arms so that a grand total of 290,000 examples were issued. Five bars were awarded of which the Defence of Lucknow (29th June-25th September) is the most famous.

The recipient of the medal served in the 84th (Yorks. & Lancs.) Regiment which was formed in 1793 and disbanded in 1968.
