This is an excellent reference book for researchers wishing to track down awards of the medal.

It is in two main parts: Awards Made Between 1907 - 1922 & Awards Made Between 1923 and 1947. Authorities and supplementary information on individuals are included.

Over 5,600 awards were made, 3100 for services during the Great War. Nearly all of the awards that I have researched were for gallantry displayed in action.

Any enthusiast wanting a copy on the open market may find the book hard to find, and then expensive.

But why not join the Indian Military History Society : http://www.imhs.org.uk/

and then make an enquiry about the book to the Secretary/Treasurer, as listed under Contacts.
