The Africa General Service Medal was instituted in 1902 to be awarded for minor actions where no specific campaign medal was awarded. Most recipients were local African troops with some detached and specialist European officers but the campaign against the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, 1952-1956 was an exception. The ‘Kenya’ clasp was awarded for 91 days’ service (30 days for aircrew) in the Central and Southern Provinces of Kenya and Naivasha, Nakuru and Laikipia Districts, Rift Valley Province, Nairobi Extra-Provincial District and that part of Isiola township and Leasehold Area in the Northern Province between 21 October 1952 to 17 November 1956. The medal was discontinued in 1956.
