Barney09 Posted 4 March , 2015 Share Posted 4 March , 2015 My Grandfather who ended up Sgt John Dunn 29651 / 4334605 was stationed at East Ridge Barracks, Ahmednagar around October 1919. I believe he was in the East Yorkshire regiment after being transferred from the ASC. Does any one know more about what he would have been doing? I believe he then went to Gallipoli and Iraq. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 5 March , 2015 Share Posted 5 March , 2015 Most likely he was involved in garrison duties. There was a Prisoner of War Camp/internment camp for civilians at Ahmednagar during the war, but I image it would have been closed by October 1919. Occasionally the Army was called out if there was civil unrest, but the rest of the time their duties were probably similar to those they performed in Britain. See the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Ahmednagar. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Ahmadnagar Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
