Hi All, My father served in the Manchester Regiment in WW1 in India. When trying to find the history of his service I made contact with the Kings Regiment Museum in Ardwick Green, Manchester and asked for information. Much to my surprise all they could do was sell me a book written by a serving soldier, but from 1923 onwards. Having almost given up trying to find information, as I originally wrote to the Museum in 2003, I can't help but notice the enclicopedic knowledge of contributing member. I would ask therefore, if anyone can point me to a source of information as I would have thought there would have been, for instance regimental diaries of the WW1 service of the Manchester Regiment on the Indian continent available somewhere. My father's name was Frederick William FAVILL and listed in the Medal Index as "Fred FAVILL" His army number was 45717 and his birthdate December 22, 1980. John Favill, Brookfield , Wisconsin, USA
