British Library - Lieutenant Colonel H M Day (IA)

I have just renewed my reader's card for the British Library and spent some time browsing through my late adoptive father's (British) Indian Army Service Record. He was born in 1899 in England, educated at Monmouth, and went to the Officers' training school in Quetta, then in India, in 1918. He went into the 5 Cavalry initially, where he fought on horseback on the North West Frontier and in Iraq. I think we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq aren't we? Nothing changes. He then transferred to the 5/7 Rajput Regiment after about 5 years and spent time in the Burma Military Police and the Burma Frontier Force. He was Commandant at Bhamo, as far as I can tell, when the Japanese invaded Burma. He retired from the Indian Army, as a Lieutenant Colonel, when India gained independence in 1947. That's enough about him for now, but no doubt I shall return to him later.
