Armed Forces / Canada's ?? Own
« on: Tuesday 13 July 21 00:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
On another board we are trying to decipher writing on back of a photo of a soldier, but nothing makes sense. Trying to look at it from another perspective, mainly that there could be shorthand used which names a regt. Would you folks please take a look see if it makes any sense along the lines of Can --- own meaning Canada/Canadian --- Own.
Better scan posted at bottom of thread, OP unwilling to post actual picture. So unsure of uniform.
Thanks.

Armed Forces / 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders
« on: Thursday 24 June 21 10:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi Rootschatters,

1 Batt. Seaforths were in India from 12Feb1903-30Dec1914.

(Playing lots of very successful football matches it would appear, and being proclaimed the best ever at tests.)
That aside, I'm looking to get a list of ALL officers present at this time especially 1905 onwards. How do I go about this?
Or do any of you already have, or have access to, this information?
Also, a colour-sgt. ... if promoted becomes a what?
Hope someone here can help, thanks VM.
