Sandhurst in August 1914. He was, however, quickly appointed to the 1st Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment and went to France in February 1915.Subsequently confirmed in his intended Indian Army appointment, namely in the 13th Duke of Connaught’s (Watson’s Horse), Harding was actively employed in Mesopotamia, being present in actions on the Tigris and Euphrates and at the capture of Ana and Mosel. He was awarded the O.B.E. and thrice mentioned in despatches (London Gazettes 27 August 1918, 21 February and 5 June 1919, refer). Having then served in the Third Afghan War, he transferred to the 6th Lancers and was placed on the Indian Army Reserve of Officers in May 1924.Next employed as a Private Secretary to Lord Wakehurst, Governor of New South Wales, Harding returned to military duty as a Major in the 1939-45 War, when he served as Deputy Assistant Provost Marshal with H.Q. 1st Armoured Division, 8th Army in the Western Desert; his private papers in respect of these services are held in the Imperial War Museum’s archive (ref. catalogue number 19779).Post-war, Harding served as Clerk to the Executive Council of the Bahamas in the 1950s. He died in April 1967; sold with the recipient’s original O.B.E. warrant and certificate for his Coronation Medal 1937, together with a quantity of copied research.

David Filsell Posted 14 August , 2016 Author Share Posted 14 August , 2016 (edited) This has all been of tremendous help. Now to start completing entries for the officers, and trying to take their stories a little further. The Forum and its members, and the generosity here rarely fail to amaze me. I have received far more information than I had hoped For and possibly and there may even be more to come. I am most grateful. Very best regards to all David.

Issue 32792 of 2.2.1923 page 813. However the London Gazette index entry for Capt. J. P. Fullerton relating to Issue 32792 of 2.2.1923 page 819 states that the previous notification was cancelled, so it is little difficult to know if he did actually serve as a Staff Capt. Some of the stated period also overlaps with him being second in command of 2nd Bn. Dogra Regt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
