Greetings all -I’m new to researching this conflict and nation, so am having some struggles.
The information that I have is what I think I’ve properly deciphered as:
Rank:Sepoy
Name: Mohd Zaman
Service Number: 1272
Unit (maybe?): 1-123 Baluch
I’m trying to figure out whatever I can about this soldier; specifically his unit. I assumed “1-123” was a battalion-regiment reference, but must have that wrong. When I looked at the list of Indian Infantry regiments of WWI, the 123rd was “Outram’s Rifles”, where the 124th was Baluchistan. I’m sure I’m confused, so any help at all is much appreciated.
Thank you.
