Overview

The Military General Service Medal 1793–1814 was authorised in 1847 and issued in 1848 to surviving veterans as a retrospective award for actions in Egypt, the Peninsula, the East Indies, the Caribbean, and the United States of America during the early 19th Century. The medal was always awarded with one or more clasps, and a total of 29 different clasps were authorised, the earliest clasp being for Egypt (March to September 1801), and the last clasp being for the battle of Toulouse (10 April 1814). The greatest number of clasps awarded to a single recipient was 15.
