Tony Farrell Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 It's likely your man was attached to the Military Engineering Services of the Indian Army, though I would've expected his parent unit on the medal. He may have transferred to the Indian Army proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
