Hi
Hope someone can help I am trying to find what regiment my Grandad was in. He was born in 1905 and may have had some connection with The Frontiersmen and served in India. The nearest match l could find with the collar badge and epaulettes was The Royal Fusiliers (City of london Regiment) 25th Battalion (Frontiersmen) (2nd badge type) but this regiment was disbanded in 1918 and l can find no information on the Frontiersmen being in India.
Thanks
