Jojessholli Posted 12 June , 2019 Share Posted 12 June , 2019 (edited) Hey Guys If a MIC has the theatre of war listed as 'I' - does this refer to Ireland or India? I presume it's India.

Terry_Reeves Posted 12 June , 2019 Share Posted 12 June , 2019 (edited) It's just the way the clerk wrote it. India was not a theatre of war. TR Edited 12 June , 2019 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojessholli Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Thanks guys I really appreciate your help. He was with the 2nd Battalion and then the 4th - so presumably he went with the 2nd as the 4th didn't go overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
