Dear Listers, I have gone round in circles trying to trace my GGF's service record and subsequently (hopefully) his place of birth/origin. In 1869 Joseph Henry Luschwitz was shown as Bandmaster HM's 2nd Belouch (Balouch) Regiment Kurrachee (at the time of his son's marriage to Elizabeth Moore only daughter of Mr John Moore Bandmaster HM's 19th Regt NI Bhooj (DOM 18.2.1869) Trying to track the HM's 2nd Belouch (Balouch) Regiment, I ended up noting from various sites viz: 2nd Battalion, 6th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry (1796 - 1824) 12th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry (1824 - 1885) 12th Regiment of Bombay Infantry (1885 - 1901) 12th Bombay Infantry (1901 - 1903) Source http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/indianinfantry/112thinf.htm Then from FIBIwiki http://www.wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=126th_Baluchistan_Infantry Known as the *26th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry* in the Bombay Army Known as *126th Baluchistan Infantry *in the Indian Army Chronology - *1825* raised as the 2nd Extra Battalion of Bombay Native Infantry - *1826* became the *26th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry* - *1885* became the 26th Regiment of Bombay Infantry - *1892* became the 26th (Baluchistan) Regiment of Bombay Infantry - *1901* became the 26th Baluchistan Infantry - *1903* became the *126th Baluchistan Infantry* - *1922* became the 2nd/10th Baluch Regiment - *1947* allocated to Pakistan on Partition Question: Where can I find the records of a Bandmaster of this Indian Native Regiment (and I have noted the Archivist address on Bandmasters from FIBWIKI). Any help appreciated. Kerry from a sunny but cold Canberra (14c)
