your doing well so far Gene!
Nice teapot to, . Have you christend it yourself yet? ![]() ![]() Hes Definatly not amongst listed war dead, so either retired or transfered to another regiment. The Offcial medal Records are not complete either, there normaly fairly good with Brit Regiments though. {Record of Colonial units records are fairly abismal} Perhaps Terrotorial records are also? Truly dont know. Built up my own data base of Gurkhas wherever possible over the years. The 2/4th were based at Quetta & Dehra Dun in 1917, but where csm Osborne went after that is realy the questian. Might be worth trying Truro libary reference section, sometimes one can find an eager hobyist researcher on the reference libary staff, who can do local press cuttings, council records,birth,deaths ,weddings & if lucky stories to...

Stu, Thats not very realistic, there both privates in rank . One of them was also killed in 1916, the teapots dated 1917. ![]() As I said earlier he is not listed amongst the war dead. Spiral |

no worrys Stu, Didnt mean to offend you,no expert myself just a student, but can see what the documents say & have read a few military records over the years. To put a light hearted note on it, To be broken down to private from CSM {possibly with with over 30 year service} hed probably have to have taken advantage of the Generals wife over the bronze victory cannon canon in middle of the the parade ground on sunny Christmas morning in front of the assembled ranks , shouting "I do this for England, the King , God & St George" or some such, while waving the Regimental banner in the air, Before wounding half a dozen Regimental police in a life threatening way! To be broken that far down youd be in jail for a few years first. The records of British dead are more much more reliable the medal records by a long way. {Of course ther will be a very occasional accidental non recorded I am sure.] Spiral |
