Note: The Siyin-Nwengal Uprising occurred when the Chins revolted against British proposals that would disarm the tribes. The forces under Captain Caulfied sent from Fort White were immediately sent into the troubled area, but the rebellion quickly spread and further reinforcements were sent to the Tiddim and Fort White districts under Captain Preserve. The new commander, Brigadier General Palmer, C.B, arrived in December 1892 and ordered further reinforcements to garrison strategic points, destroy rebel villages, and ambush Chin fighters. This campaign devolved, as usual in Burma, into the dispatch of small columns into rebel areas; however, as the Chins were unwilling to fight, there were few encounters. The operations occurred from 19 October 1892 to 10 March 1893.

The India General Service Medal 1854 - 1895 was instituted after the Pegu campaign on 22nd December 1853, followed by a recommendation to include further bars for future campaigns and actions. Although called the "India General Service Medal", this medal covers a much wider geographical area, including Persia and Malaya.
