Hello Peter, Thank you for that information. I did think that he may have been involved in the India-China Civil War in 1911 that you mentioned, however then reading the information from David listing the movements of his likely battalion being in Lichfield in 1911, this seems to be his, as he was stationed in Lichfield in late 1912 when he married. It looks therefore that he served in the North West Frontier, as the web site that David gave confirms the West Yorkshire Regiment being in that area in the relevant years. Thanks again, Cathy in South Australia From: Peter Monks <arethusa@shaw.ca> Greetings, The Timechart of Military History, shows a blank for India. However, there was China Civil War in 1911 and again in 1921 with the earlier Boxer Rebellion of 1900. There was the Russo-Japanese war 1904-05. No doubt various scurmishes in India to keep the troops occupied. Peter
