GRAZ Posted 9 August , 2008 Share Posted 9 August , 2008 Hi I recently picked up a single BWM awarded to the above officer. I've checked on Google and found a few entries on him but only concentrating on his academic studies on India and the Indian Army, it did show that he reached the rank of Lt.Colonel. Does anybody know anything of his Military career, and if he saw any more action after WW1.His BWM has been fixed with a pin suggesting it was his only award. Any info would be most appreciated Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRAZ Posted 11 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 11 August , 2008 Hi Harry and Steve Thanks for the help. Steve i've downloaded his M.I.C, it doesn't say much other than confirming the award of the BWM only. I've checked the London Gazette, and he retired just before WW2 with the rank of Major, so i don't know how he became a Lt Colonel, can anybody help Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
