Hello again David, Just received your message on the digest, thank you. Coupled with the web site that you gave me it does seem to confirm that he was in the North West Frontier during that time, especially as the Regiment movements that you gave tallies with him being stationed in Lichfield in late 1912 when he married. It seems likely that his promotion to Lance Corporal may well have occurred when he was back in England. Cathy in South Australia
