One is the Burma Star,I cant remember what the other one is called.Thanks.
 
And to quote uncle Bill,'what does it have to do with khukuris?' They were issued to a Ghorkha.

This was discussed here before,it is sad these men had to sell their awards,but i guess now they will be treated with respect rather than used to decorate someones home.

 
... just 2 Qs:
  1. Are these medals issued to those survived only?
  2. Did they received any monetary rewards as well?[/list=a]

    ... long time ago I did watched a picture with title "A Hero Too Late" --- something about WW I if I'm not mistaken.

Any other inscriptions on the round one? Sorry, I can not make out any of the inscription in your photo.

Round medal is 1939-45 War Medal. Inscription on obverse is "GEORGIVS VI G BR OMN REX ET INDIAE IMP", Latin for "George VI King of all Great Britain and Emperor of India", same basic design as this 1940 Indian rupee
