They had just had a spell in the Caucusus trying to keep Georgia an independent state. They moved from Batum to Haida Pasha arriving 16th Sept and did a spell of guard duty before being disbanded on the 12th October when all the men joined the 8th Ox and Bucks

did you have a relative involved with them at this time - would like to know name.

regards
