Four: Rifleman B. P. Gurung, 3rd Battalion, 5th Gurkha Rifles
1939-45 Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45; India Service Medal 1939-45, all officially impressed '55257 Rfn. Bhuwan Parsad Gurung, 3/5 G.R.' as issued by Indian Army, mounted for wear, good very fine (4)
This unit saw heavy action in Burma with the 37th Indian Brigade on the Shenam front, south-east of Imphal. They proved invaluable at 'Scraggy' and 'Gibraltar' under their famous CO, Lieutenant-Colonel Marindin. Given the recipient does not appear to have earned either a General Service Medal with clasp 'S. E. Asia 1945-46' or Indian Independence Medal 1947, it is most likely he was wounded or invalided.
