    1. [FoD] Service in India
    2. John Wilding
    3. One of my ancestors Arthur Isles was born at Cinderford June 6th., 1885. Family lore has it that he served in India and this belief is supported by a number of oriental pieces passed down to me, and also by a friend who remembers him making reference to his time in the Punjab. As far as I am aware he spent all his non-service life in the Forest of Dean. I am wondering if anyone is able to suggest from his date of birth and place of residence, which regiment he might have joined which could have resulted in him serving in India. The British Library has a reference to an A G Iles, who in 1919, was a captain in the 34th Prince Albert Victor's Own Poona Horse but I do not believe this to be him. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. John
