What can you tell me from my grandfather's MGC# ..........64698?

He was posted to the 5th Battalion from the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment on 17/10/1916

By the time he reappears in Bombay on 27/7/17  he was in the No 5 Battalion MGGC, ? 123rd Company, then was posted to the 128th Machine Gun Company, part of the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, in Amara on 15/08/17.

I have a lot on his time in "Mesopotamia, but there is just a blank record between Oct 17 2016 and July 27 1917

According to his record he attested into the Mancs. & went into Reserve until
17/10/16 & posted to the 5th. Coy. MGC 5th. Bde. 2nd. Div. who were in France throughout the war.
So he was involved in operation there until being posted to Bombay.

Thank you.

I assumed that was where he was, but didn't have the proof.
