Rockford Posted 30 April , 2022 Share Posted 30 April , 2022 (edited) Hello, I'm not sure about the AFI at the end (might be Auxiliary Forces, India), but the rest will be: L/Sgt = Lance Sergeant 2 BN = 2nd Battalion M & SO. MAH. RY. RIF = Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway Rifles There is some information about the regiment here: https://wiki.fibis.org/w/Madras_and_Southern_Mahratta_Railway_Rifles Best wishes Brian Edited 30 April , 2022 by Rockford Updating text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
