'During the Spring and early Summer of 1880, the 2nd Bombay Light Cavalry served at Jacobabad, Quetta and Sibi, in the Reserve Division of the Kandahar Field Force. On the forward concentration of the troops in August 1880, in consequence of the news of the disaster at Maiwand, the Regiment was moved up to Kila Abdulla, and as a unit of General Phayre's relieving force took part in the advance to Kandahar. The Regiment remained serving in the neighbourhood of Kandahar and on the line of communications till after the evacuation of that city by the British Forces' (Shadbolt refers).

Thus the recipient is unlikely to be entitled to the 'Charasia' and 'Kabul' clasps.
