At present I am researching 2958 Lance-Dfdr. Fatch Khan, 36th Jacob's Horse who was awarded an Indian DSM during the Great War. Would anybody know where citations are available as I am stuck as to where to look.

From 'The Indian Distinguished Service Medal' by Rana Chhina:

"Many Great War citations, including those pertaining to post-war operations in Kurdistan, Salonika etc, may be found in the OIOC records of the British library in the U.K."

In the book your man is listed as:

2958 Lance-Dafadar Fateh Khan. 362/1919 (Died 23.11.18? Regtl. No. 2858, PTm). 36th Jacob's Horse. Theatre: Egypt.

Thats a great start, thank you. I'll certainly have a look through the OIOC and see if I can locate my man. Could be an interesting project.
