Hello Sid Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have managed to find him on the findmypast 1911 website. You were absolutely right that he was in Singapore. I had assumed that as the 2nd Batt were called back from India to go to France in 1915 he was there in 1911. Of course after being my own family historian for nearly 10 years I would have known better than to make assumptions! Have just ordered Ray Westlakes book and am looking forward to reading it as I have other soldiers in my tree of various regiments. June
