Three clasps were authorised, although no medals were awarded with more than two, since no unit qualified for both the
Mooltan and
Chilianwala clasps. The medal was issued without a clasp to those who were present in the Punjab but did not take part in any of the principal battles. •
Chilianwala :
13 January 1849. Awarded to troops under the command of
Lord Gough who engaged with the Sikh army of
Sher Singh and
Lal Singh near
Chilianwala. In total, 21,453 of these clasps were awarded, 4,300 to Europeans and 16,153 to Indian troops. •
Goojerat :
21 February 1849. Awarded to troops under the command of
Lord Gough who defeated the Sikh army of
Sher Singh at
Goojerat. In total, 32,960 of these clasps were awarded, 6,200 to Europeans and 26,760 to Indian troops. The clasps read downwards from the top of the medal, varying from the usual practice of placing the earliest clasp nearest the medal. ==Notes==
