Hi, If he left service before Kut-al-amara then he would probably have been in some of these battles: Basra - 1914 Shaiba - 1915 North-West Frontier of India - 1914-15 The 110th mahratta light infantry (3rd battalion) fought in all three. Is there any military records over the soldiers who fought in this regiment? But if he was posted to another regiment why is the medal impressed with his old regiments name?! Found this soldier on the national archives website. I could be the same soldier.. or maybe not, not exactly correct number, regiment and name! But that was the closest i could get today . Its sad that the text on the rim is so hard to see. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...;resultcount=10 Thanks for the help! /Anton B

Hi, I found this medal a while ago. As with all victory medals from the first world war this is also engraved (impressed) with the owners name etc. In this case I find it hard to see the text on the rim, but Iam quite sure its something like this: 272 SEPOY RAGHU SAKPAL . 110 INFY . I know its the british variation of the medal which might help in the identification (!) Can it be something in this order: Service number: 272 Rank: Sepoy Name: Raghu Sakpal Regiment: 110 infantry (?) Sepoy was the indian (british colony) name f?r privat. In this particular case it seems to match with the name, Raghua Sakpal sounds like a indian name in my ears. I have searched different databases over fallen commonwealth soldiers but without finding anything. The closest i got was this man: RAGHURAJ SINGH Sepoy 2272 Date of death: 15/02/1916 7th Duke of Connaught's Own Rajputs Indian Am I on the right track concerning the interpretation of the text (on the rim)? It feels like iam stuck for the moment so a little bit of help would be nice. All help is appreciated! Regards/ Anton B
