Cabul Medal 1842

The Cabul Medal was awarded to those who took part in the First Anglo-Afghan War. Approved by General Order at Simla in 1842, it was designed by William Wyon. There are no official clasps (Marzenia 1842 and Tazeane 1842 were sometimes privately added), but the four reverses indicate for which service the medal was issued. These are CANDAHAR 1842, CABUL 1842, GHUZNEE CABUL 1842, and CANDAHAR, GHUZNEE, CABUL 1842. This is the only issue available for this medal, the reverse is struck 'CABUL 1842'.
