General Service Medal 1918-1962, EIIR 2nd type bust, 1 Clasp: Arabian Peninsula (23431726 PTE. J.S. SIMON. KINGS OWN R.) In its original mint box of issue. Complete with the recipients original Regular army certificate of service, 2x original letters with regards to the recipients discharge & a letter dated 2005 with regards to the recipients very late claim for his medal. John Stanley Simons was born 19-10-1938 & enlisted in to the Regular army at Lancaster 23-1-58. He spent a three month spell in the Arabian Peninsular between July & October of 1958 along with spells in East Africa both prior to and after this service. In 1959 his regiment amalgamated & became the Kings own royal border regiment & in September of 1960 the recipient transferred to the Loyal regiment in Germany & took his final discharge in January 1961. He never claimed his GSM until 2005 when he made a very late claim & as such his medal is correctly lazer engraved as it should be very a medal issued at that time. Whilst the paperwork shows signs of both use and age. Extremely Fine
