The medal, made of metal, is a testament to the bravery and service rendered by Sepoy Ahmad Khan during his time in East and Central Africa. Sepoy Ahmad Khan belonged to one of three Indian Army regiments that played a crucial role in quelling a mutiny led by Sudanese troops employed by the Colonial Government in Uganda. This historic event marked an important chapter in the region's history, with Sepoy Ahmad Khan's regiment playing a pivotal role in restoring order.
