When the first issue was made under King George V, in 1911, Richard Garbe designed a new obverse but the medal was otherwise unaltered. The ignominious defeat of Afghan forces in the Third Anglo-Afghan War left considerable dissatisfaction among the border tribesmen, resulting in persistent raiding that various British punitive expeditions were sent to quell. Even after peace had more or less been achieved, considerable garrison forces were required for some years in the areas of Waziristan (technically an independent state at the time, and independent again in defiance of Pakistani claims to the territory for a short while during 2006) and various other districts around the River Indus. The forces in the area were heavily engaged in a road-building programme and the establishment of cantons to make further tribal revolts less likely. This medal was awarded to Private E. C. Smith of the 1st Border Regiment. It was one of the last pieces acquired by Lester Watson, purchased from the London dealers Baldwin in 1936.
