A GEORGE V INDIAN DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL TO THE 15TH LUDHIANA SIKHS. A Distinguished Service Medal named to 1002 Sepoy Dalbara Singh 15/Sikhs. Awarded for his part in the attack on the rebellious Senussi at Halazin, Egypt on the 23rd January 1916. The 15th Sikhs advanced in open order supported by the 2nd South African Infantry and 1st New Zealand Rifles covered by the fire of the Notts Battery. The enemy were extended over a mile front falling back to prepared defensive positions covered by some well handled mountain guns and at least five M.G.s. The Imperial forces eventually won the day but not without loss. Dalbara Sing was also mentioned in Despatches in August 1917. Mounted for display with copied history.
