The city of Perak, in modern-day Malaysia, in 1874 came under the rule of Sultan Raja Abdullah, who had succeeded with British military aid against a rival, Raja Ismail, backed by Chinese interests. The Treaty of Pangkor that established Abdullah also emplaced a British Resident in Perak who took over governmental duties, but this man, Sir James Birch, was murdered in Upper Perak because of his rather unsympathetic reforms. The ousted Sultan, Raja Ismail, became the head of the following uprising and a British expedition to put down what was in danger of becoming a revolution was sent, heavily supported by the Navy, in late 1875. This bar was awarded for participation in that campaign, and is here affixed to the medal of Drummer G. Mick, of the 1st Battalion, 10th Foot. Lester Watson acquired the medal at some point before 1928.
