Thanks Michael, This is a very useful search engine. I wonder if you can help me. My family originally come from Kang, Nakodar, Jullundar.In the additional information field, I am looking for a list of all the casualities come from Kang, Nakodar, Jullundar, Punjab during the WW1. and the same for WW2? I don't know how to do it. I have tried it many time but getting no records. I found only one other record Munsha Singh coming from the same village. I expect a fews more records. Is it possible to send me a list? Many thanks

Do you know what kind of uniform my Great Grandfather (51st Sikh Frontier Force) worn at that time? Do you have a picture?

I bought the medal and the seller mentioned the name. I make a note somewhere. This is rare. Maybe this is not during the WW1 and probably after 1947.

Yes ok M.A.T.C. (stands for MERWARA ARTILLARY TRANSPORT CORPS) Do you know anything about this regiment?

Hi Ed, I want to ask you further queries. My Great Grandfather, rank is 'naik' which is the same as 'corporal'. Is this correct? Is there a record or Indian army register book that tell when he started in the army and also moved to a higher rank from sepoy to naik? What kind of duties or responsibility do you think my Great Grandfather work in the army (rank 'Naik' compare to sepoy)? Many thanks JSKang
