Good evening gentleman
This is the continuing quest of mine to try and find who owned the WW1 whistle I have been given.
I was looking on a previous post for a man called William Carver and tried to establish his uniform and whether his battalion was in India at any time as the whistle I have has an I on it under the war sign which I have been told by a whistle collector stands for British India
As I have come to a bit of a stand still on this line of enquiry I asked the gentleman whom my mum purchased it from if he had any other info.
He has got back to me with some war postcards. They are not from his direct relative but from a possible brother inlaw . The postcard has this info on it
R Howitt (Howett?)
Rouen dated 22/8/17 service number 38617 B Company K.R.R Batt.
Does anyone know on here what battalion this was and were they ever in India?
Thanks for your time and previous help & suggestions
Joe
