India was at that point a normal posting for the British Army. Most of the problems that were encountered were on the North West Frontier with Afghanistan (my, how things have changed! NOT!)

He may have been entitled to the India General Service Medal, but as you appear to have his records, it should show on there...

FIBIS are quite useful...

hi thanx for reply, sorry it has taken a while for me to get back, there is no mention on his service records of the medal but he did spend over 3 years  i think over there so thought he might have been awarded it but was never given it or someone forgot to issue it is that possible?
