themonsstar Posted 26 April , 2017 Author Share Posted 26 April , 2017 (edited) Tirumalagiri is a major suburb of Secunderabad, India. Trimulgherry is the anglicised name for Tirumalagiri. It is to the north of Hyderabad. Dear Edie Thanks very much for your card. I hope you are keeping well. I expect that it is cold now in england but it is so hot here that we have to drill in our shirt sleeves though we are sweating. We have our inspection by the General Tuesday. I think that we shall soon be back in england again to see you as we have not come out for long. This is a PC of the fort inside of which you can see the barracks now I must close with love.
