ddycher Posted 3 May , 2008 Share Posted 3 May , 2008 All I have reference to a Mool Chund Saihgal who was assigned to 1/5th Devons when they were stationed in Lahore 1916-17. I understand it is some kind of secretary but does anyone have a better idea of the role and typically who filled it. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushfighter Posted 3 May , 2008 Share Posted 3 May , 2008 Taken from "Hobson-Jobson the Anglo-Indian Dictionary" Dave I think that in your context the Mir Munshi was the senior clerk or language teacher employed by the unit. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
