The 1909 IGSM was awarded for various minor military campaigns in India from 1908 to 1935. This particular IGSM features the bust of King George V and was issued between 1911-1925. Each campaign was represented by a clasp on the ribbon; 12 were sanctioned. The Afghanistan NWF 1919 Clasp was issued for The Third Anglo-Afghan War that began on 6 May 1919 when the Emirate of Afghanistan invaded British India and ended with an armistice on 8 August 1919. The Anglo-Afghan Treaty of 1919 resulted in the Afghans gaining control of foreign affairs from Britain and the British recognizing the Durand Line as the border between Afghanistan and British India.
