sotonmate Posted 23 August , 2009 Share Posted 23 August , 2009 jskang There is no entry for a 12224 gunner SINGH of the Royal Artillery that I could find. If number 12224 had been there it would be the first item on the list. Can you check the info again ? Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskang Posted 23 August , 2009 Author Share Posted 23 August , 2009 I have check the number 12224 on the medal rim but can't find on the National Archive website. This is a rare indian gunner in the Royal Artillery british regiment. I'm sure there is record of him here in UK. jskang There is no entry for a 12224 gunner SINGH of the Royal Artillery that I could find.

sotonmate Posted 23 August , 2009 Share Posted 23 August , 2009 jskang There are many SINGHs with Royal Artillery medals from WW1 (650) so when I type 12224 SINGH Royal Artillery into the Ancestry UK search facility I would see it at the top of the list. As it was I read the first 50 entries and it wasn't there ! The only F SINGH shown (from an earlier and wider search using the letter F as well) was an infantry Sepoy with a number below 100.
