Comments
(en)
The Defence Medal is a campaign medal instituted by the United Kingdom in May 1945, to be awarded to citizens of the British Commonwealth for both non-operational military and certain types of civilian war service during the Second World War.
The partition of India, in conjunction with independence, delayed the claims of Pakistan for their India Service and Defence medals of World War II, 1939 - 45, until after the Royal Mint factory at Woolwich for this and other war medals had closed down. John Pinches (Medallists) Ltd. were awarded the contract for more than 300,000 of these cupro-nickel medals struck from the dies prepared from matrices supplied. (Pinches, 1987)
