It's First Division, Northern Force, Camp of Exercise.

All three phrases are in this cutting from the Times of India, 31 December 1885

Thank you Shaun.
What a total star  :-*

Sorry about this, but does anyone have any idea what this mean?
To me , it looks like
1st Div NF. CofE 13/12/85

Sorry, Nellie - I agree with your transcription, but I can't interpret that one either. I can only think 'Church of England' when I see C of E!

Thank you Garen.
Hard to think of it anything other than Church of England isn’t it?
I might pop it up on the general military board and see if it is recognisable to a wider audience.

With regard to his court marshals, is there anywhere that I could search to learn more?

I think it's Warley (Warley Barracks) and then Maidstone.

Ah…yes.
It was the “arrived in India” that threw me.
Of course, that makes sense. Especially when it’s then got a ship’s name!
Thank you Garen…sorry to take up your time 😬
