Thanks Maureen, where did you find the copy posted? I could only find via help from the "Forces War records" the index card I posted earlier in the thread. Are there any articles, documents or books written about RHA and where they were in India 1905 -1914 that anyone knows of ? where would one look for this ?
I have not read all as yet,
adding as it may be of interest.
Keith.
In Ambala, India when ordered to mobilise on 31 August 1914. Sailed from Bombay 10 October 1914 and landed at Marseilles exactly a month later. Under command of 3rd (Ambala) Cavalry Brigade in 1st Indian Cavalry Division. Brigade exchanged with 5th (Mhow) Cavalry Brigade of 2nd Indian Cavalry Division on 15 September 1915 but A Battery RHA remained and came under command of Mhow Brigade in October 1915.

I have a sub to Findmypast so I'm used to browsing the records. They are still being updated as I believe they are still working on the Burnt Records. I'll have a check on the other records but I think it may be Ancestry that has some of those articles, few and far between though!
