Remark : This medal was presented to Fred Pascoe for his service in Malaya with the 15/19 Hussars during the Malayan Emergency.
The General Service Medal was instituted to recognise service in any so-called 'minor' Army and Air Force operations for which no separate medal was intended, in this case for operations in Singapore and the Malay Peninsula during the “Malayan Emergency”, a successful counter-insurgency operation against communist guerillas. The qualifying dates for service in Malaya were between 16 June 1948 and 31 July 1960.
