Armed Forces / Re: Second Anglo-Afghan War 1878-80

Hi, I joined to contribute to the Afghan War database. My ancestor, George Hastings Bittleston, served in the 2nd Afghan war. He was in the Royal Artillery and served in Ali Mujid, Pilar Koshel, Charnidai, Habul & Shorpose, Ahmed Kiel and Kandahar (apologies for the spellings - I can't transcribe all the place names). He was born in 1856, educated Charterhouse and served in Afghanistan 1878-1882. He married in 1882 and was in India in 1884, Woolwich in 1891 and at Dover Castle in 1911. He was in France in Royal Artillery in Sept 1915. He died in Camberwell in 1927.
