However, since he died in 1939, he could not exchange his EGM with the George Cross, which was instituted in the next year, and which the holders of the EGM were entitled to receive in exchange of their EGMs. He is one of the only two Nepalese persons to be awarded the Empire Gallantry Medal, the other being Nandlal Thapa, GC.[1][2]
