Hello Ian, I know you wanted this addressed directly to Stewart Green, but as some have already commented here I would also like to add my 'tuppence' worth. The Police pension in India would be paid in Indian Rupees not Pounds Sterling. So the of value for the Police pension in 1916 should be calculated from Indian Rupees (IR109.7.6) In today's conversion would be about about 110 Rupees to 1 Pound, not a great amount by today's standard but in 1916 would be considered excellent. Regards Penni
