thanks ken, my ggrandfather came home early 1880 due to exhaustion after spending 13 years in india,any idea if army would haved housed him when he returned or would he have had to come home and be left to his own resourses, by 1881 he was working on railway in oswestry, shropshire, if anyone else had family in india with 1st battalion 5th regiment during this time i would love to hear from them, thanks
