Allan1892 Posted 21 October , 2021 Share Posted 21 October , 2021 I am aware that the Battalion didn't see overseas service during the war as they were on garrison duties. I know that the Battalion were sent to India at some stage. Does anyone know when they went to India? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
