Just checked my grandfather's medals. He had a GSM with Iraq and Kurdistan bars!
Other bars for the GSM around that time were 'Southern Desert, Iraq' which was exclusively awarded to the RAF and 'Northern Kurdistan'. We are now on our third Afghanistan medal, the first awarded in 1878-80, the next a bar to the India GS in 1919, and the politicians still havent learned how futile it is trying to tame the untameable.
By the way Pontius that's a nice scarce medal, did your grandfather get WW1 medals too?
