So, this is a real shot in the dark but if there’s anyone out there who has any idea – or can point me in the right direction – it’s all much appreciated.
My grandfather was Indian and fought in India for the British (obviously, given India was part of the Empire) during WW1. All I have to go on are these medals, my mum’s 74 and she was a child when he died and there’s no family record at all.
What we know is that he was a doctor, but we don’t know what regiment he was attached to.
Two of them are clearly medals, as they have pins for the ribbons and I’m not sure if the other two are medals. But, they all have his name stamped on the rim, along with other letters that sadly don’t mean anything to me… Seriously, any closet investigators out there – I’d love to hear from you… Cheers.
Also, if anyone knows what ribbons go with these, I’d love to send them away to be cleaned and framed – my mum is very proud of her father’s sacrifice and it would make an old lady very happy.
