Brian Wolfe Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) This is the same rank in both the Pakistani and Indian military and stands for Lance Daffadar (Lance Corporal) in the cavalry and armour divisions.RegardsBrian Edited August 4, 2015 by Brian Wolfe Can't seem to move topic so leaving it here
peter monahan Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 And with that name he is almost certainly a Pathan from the NorthWest Frontier area. The same fellows who gave the British [and Russians, and Alexander's Macedonians] so much trouble for 150 years! Nice medal.
