Medal and single clasp medal entitlement to 'Jemadar' Sher Din’ for 'Uganda 1897-98' confirmed per the respective campaign medal roll (ref WO 100/90, see page 38). 

Later supplementary pages in the same medal roll for this regiment show a 'Subadar' Sher Din confirmed as 'Died Of Wounds' on 2 May 1898 (reference Medal Roll WO 100/90 page 79) while qualifying for the clasp 'Lubwa's (the Subadar is also shown as having qualified for the earlier Uganda 1897-98 clasp).
