A rare Second War Burma Gallantry Medal awarded to Rifleman Saw Thein Maung, Burma Rifles
Burma Gallantry Medal, G.VI.R. (50056 Rfn. Saw Thein Maung 2 Burma Rifles) in a Royal Mint case, nearly extremely fine, case slightly distressed, rare £1,400-£1,800
Despite extensive research, no definitive trace of this award has been found in either the London Gazette, nor any local Government Orders. However, a ‘Rifleman Saw Saw Maung, The Burma Rifles’ is listed as having received the Burma Gallantry Medal (London Gazette 9 March 1943), although no number is given for him.
Only 207 Burma Gallantry Medals, and three Bars, were awarded during the period of its existence, from 1940-47.
