The only other information I have is family lore which says that at one stage he served in India - but I believe that many regiments may have done so. > > Assuming that he joined the army around 1901-2 is anyone aware of a regiment which had a recruitment campaign in the Forest about that time? Alternatively could anyone suggest where I might reasonably begin my search? > > I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. > > John in Sussex by the Sea. > > He doesn't seem to appear on any Officer lists
