Hello List Penny said: Does anyone know where I can find the Military service record for my ancestor who serviced in India and Died in Myanmar. John CAMERON b. abt 1841 Scotland. Was in India in the army supposed to be the Welsh Fusiliers as some sort of Medical Person. Married Martha Woods on 26 Feb 1863 in Ferozepore, India and had 9 children. He died on 13th Dec 1927 in Maymyo, Myanmar - and it was reported that when he died he had a military funeral with a gun carriage. As he had a military funeral, it does sound that he was in the Army when he died. The FIBIS Fibiwiki has the page "23rd Regiment of Foot" which was also known as the Welsh/Welch Fusiliers http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=23rd_Regiment_of_Foot However, the links given for deployments give no indication the regiment was in Burma in 1927, probably indicating that John Cameron was then in another British Army regiment, or perhaps he had transferred at some point to the Indian Army. As John Cameron was a Medical Person, he may have been in the Royal Army Medical Corps and moved from regiment to regiment. This unit was part of the British Army. If he was in the British Army at the time of his death in 1927, the service records , if any, will be with the Army, see FIBIS Fibiwiki British Army, Section 4.5 http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=British_Army However, for earlier periods, the service records (National Archives WO 97 records) do not include records for soldiers who died in service. If he had transferred to the Indian Army, there may be a service record at the British Library. However again, it is not known whether the records include records for men who died in service. See the FIBIS Fibiwki Indian Army, section Records for details. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Indian_Army If Penny is a FIBIS Member, she can request that research be carried out if she is unable to go to the British Library.
