The ‘S. Nigeria 1905’ clasp was awarded to those employed in the Kwale District between 10-18 October, a very short qualification period that resulted in less than 100 of them being issued. But their is no trace of Allah Dad on the relevant roll, his Medal for services with the 27th Punjabis more likely having been for ‘Somaliland 1902-04’ and ‘Jidballi’.
