A soldier in India in 1934

[Pejic]

Going through my dead father's photograph albums I have found several snaps taken in India in 1934.  No-one is left to tell me what they are about but all the rest of his many photographs are personal, either containing him, his mates or places he has been (and talked of).  One of the photos (attached) is of a named person (it is a very common name of no help for identification, but he could possible still be alive so not mentioned here).

Can anyone deduce anything from the (dishevelled) uniform and cap badge which might give me some path to follow, (I am interested to find out if, and why, my father was in India at the age of 20, the year before he joined the RAF).

A light infantry regiment for sure.
I'm going to suggest KSLI - Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
1st battalion KSLI were in Delhi in 1934.

Google "KSLI badge" if you want to confirm for yourself.

He has one good conduct chevron, which implies 2 years minimum service (if memory serves)

Thanks Neil, it certainly looks like a close match for the badge - but of course I do not know how closely similar other badges are.  I thought it was a grenadier (grenade) badge!
I will try finding his record in that regiment.
