India General Service 1908-35, 3 clasps, Mahsud 1919-20, Waziristan 1919-21, Waziristan 1921-24 (Syce Sikandar Khan, 4-3 G.R.), contact marks and edge wear, nearly very fine

The 4th Battalion, 3rd (Queen Alexandra's Own) Gurkha Rifles was raised in 1916 at Rawalpindi as the 1st Reserve Battalion, Gurkha Rifles and mistakenly was redesignated in 1917 as 4-3GR as opposed to 3rd Battalion, 4th (Prince of Wales's Own) Gurkha Rifles (3-4GR). This was assumed to have been a clerical error. It was eligible as a Battalion to all these campaign clasps and was the last wartime raised Gurkha Battalion to be disbanded in 1922.
