Name wanted for Major W.C. Long, IMS. 66th Punjabis.

[Farkas]

Hello Gents,

I’m okay at researching some things but I’m crap at finding  people 🤷‍♂️
I’m hoping someone can find a name for me please 🤞
 

I’ve just spent my rent (worth it) on 2 uniforms belonging to a British Officer in India.

Major W. C. Long

Indian medical Service

 

He received the African General Service Medal with 1902 Somaliland bar as

Captain W. C. Long

66th Punjabis

His miniature on mess dress.

 

After the purchase I received this picture from the family which made my day…

 

But it’s one way contact so despite this I still don’t know his name…

Thanks,

tony 🍻

Which doesn’t matter because of ithis

Hello Gents,

I’ve found this page ‘in’ Scotland that has all sorts of lists and information including Indian service, officers, ww1…
 

https://digital.nls.uk

 

i just don’t seem able to ‘get it’ 😡

I couldn’t get a hit when searching for my guy… so I searched just the word ‘Captain’ 👇and still got ‘no hits’ 🤷‍♂️

 

 

Clearly I’m doing something wrong.

 

Is anyone familiar with the army lists able to help please 🤞

 

cheers

tony
