General Service Medal
The General Service Medal (GSM) was first introduced in 1918 as an Army and RAF equivalent to the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM). The medal is used in place of a specific campaign medal , for example if the campaign is not very large, clasps are added to the medal to denote the campaign.
