GREAT BRITAIN: Edward VII, 1901-1910, AE medal, 37mm bronze Tibet Expedition medal by G.W. de Saulles and E.G. Gillick, uniformed bust left with EDWARDVS VII - KAISAR-I-HIND around // fortress of Potala Lhassa with TIBET 1903-4 below, with ornate hanger, with GYANTSE campaign bar, "1766 Cooly Seering S. & J. Corps " engraved in cursive script on edge, AU. In July 1903, an expeditionary force was assembled under Colonel Francis Younghusband and encountered the Tibetan Army at Tanu. The Tibetans were forcibly disarmed, and the Dalai Lama refused to negotiate a peace as the British force advanced to Gyantse. The Tibetans surrounded and attacked the British, but were decisively defeated. A peace treaty was finally signed in the Portala Lhassa on August 4, 1904. The Tibet Medal was authorized in February 1905 for all members of the Tibet Mission and accompanying troops who served at or beyond Siliguri from December 13, 1903, to September 23, 1904.
