    My family has no knowledge of his war time .

    Thanks

    EDIT: Looked at too many pictures and am not so sure. I reckon Indian Cavalry, but the uniforms are too similar and the sources I keep finding are Great War-Era.

    Try here:

    I'm not at expert, but I want to say, from the spectacular headwear, Hodson's Horse:

    4th Horse (Hodson's Horse) - Wikipedia

    As you can see, they were amalgamated for the Second World War as 10th Duke of Cambridge's Own Lancers (Hodson's Horse).

    Google around and compare with some images; I'm failing to find many photos.

    I too looked earlier and found Google had very few images available. There was an Indian Military History Society (IMHS), which published a journal 'Durbar', but they ceased to operate in December 2020. Looked through the Durbar index, nothing fund. That was the place to ask if all help here fails. IMHS has folded into Welcome - Military Historical Society I am unsure if they would publish a RFI or have a blog site.
