My grandfather's Name in the British Indian military records.
My grand father died very early in 1927 when my father was just one year old.According to my dad my grandfather was awarded twice by British. First for war in China and second time for Mesopotamian campaign in WWI.As per my father my grand father was awarded for conquering a very famous temple in China.From where some golden bells were brought back to India.My father passed away thirty years ago so we do not have any proof regarding these events other than the agricultural land awarded by British.Recently I tried to find out the details thorough internet.I could find only details available regarding Mesopotamia campaign but nothing about Chinese expedition.I have asked my nephew who is in the UK to go to British library if he could find any records over there regarding any of these events.
