1031 hours. Bogha Singh 39th B. L. Infy Distinguished Service Medal, V.R., of British design, inscribed in a cursive style . Governor General’s Order No. 943 of 1888; ongoing investigation suggests that fewer than 25 of these Imperial DSMs were granted to Indians before the introduction of the Indian Distinguished Service Medal. Interestingly, Boga Singh was bestowed with the DSM in the same year that his regiment faced humiliation at the Rawalpindi Review, a heavy downpour causing the soldiers to drop out after their footwear got stuck in the deep mud left by the cavalry and elephant battery units, an unfortunate incident witnessed by the Viceroy, Lord Dufferin.
