sotonmate Posted 16 November , 2016 Share Posted 16 November , 2016 (edited) max A few bits to begin your calendar of postings for 1st Lincolns, gleaned here and there: In Nov 1907 in Poona India (don't know when they arrived, only that they were there then) In Feb 1911 in Aden (ditto) From arrival in Oct 1912 to Aug 1914 in Portsmouth, when as part of 9 Inf. Bde. of 3 Division, they crossed the Channel. You might get a full list from the Regimental Museum. Edited 16 November , 2016 by sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 17 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 17 November , 2016 Many thanks. I know that they were in Poonha in 1909 which ties in. I am keen to establish when they arrived and left India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 17 November , 2016 Share Posted 17 November , 2016 The Bn moved from Secunderabad to Kamptee in early 1906, February I think. It went on to Poona in late 1908, November I believe. Then moved to Aden in February 1910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianmorris547 Posted 20 November , 2016 Share Posted 20 November , 2016 You may find more information at Lincolnshire Archives, St Rumbold St, Lincoln. I have seen photographs of pre Great War when I visited some years ago. There may be some images at www.lincstothepast.com. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
