Thanks so much for your help. It certainly helps illuminate his career and point me in the right direction to try find out more details. All the best Paul

Hi, I'm trying to help my friend find information about her grandfather's military career. She has very little information except the photo I've attached below. He was born in 1920, she thinks he served in World War 2 and stayed in the Indian Army until around 1975. From the research I've done, that looks like a Regiment of Artillery badge on his turban and maybe the insignia of a Major on his shoulder straps. Any insights on the ribbon bar or anything else that someone with more experience might have would be greatly appreciated. Also any pointers on where else to find more information would be very helpful. If he served in World War 2 would his records still be held by the MOD? Thanks and regards
