Dear Maureen,

Thanks for that.

I trawled through the articles and found the 1917 group photo of 89 Punjabis at Nowshera of high interest. Credited to Wikimedia Commons.

Actually, I am looking for a similar group of 87 Punjabis, not to mention other such Indian Army units...

Kindest regards,

Kim.
