Hi, Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. I collect British, British Indian and Pakistan medals and groups. I am also interested in collecting Indian Army Regimental Histories, war journals/diaries from WW1 and WW2 leading to the partition of India in 1947. I hope to meet and speak to many of those here with similar interests. I am based in London. UK. Many Thanks, Kind Regards, Yasser.
Welcome aboard, there are a number of like-minded members on the forum in regards to medal collecting.
Welcome Yasser, I note that your avatar is “Monument Valley” AZ, just like the photo, or have you been their?
Hi Temujin, I liked the photo as it was the one I could find quickly to add as an Avatar. I hope I will see it person too one day. I assume you live in AZ. Regards, Yasser.
Yasser, Welcome aboard, especially given your interest in the British Indian Army and there are 650 threads plus to peruse: British Indian Army I recommend the two articles by Harry Fecitt (who occasionally drops by here); start with and ignore the title of the thread displayed: Request Rejected There a few threads about the Army at the time of Partition itself.
Well yes and no Yasser. I’m a Canadian but we also own a house in Arizona, so we spend most of our winters here (I’m in Arizona right now)……and we have been to Monument Valley and much of the great areas and scenery in this State. Cheers and Welcome again
Thanks David. It’s really good - tons of info. Currently looking to buy some books on Indian Regiments Histories. I can’t see much on sales but seen some old links (which don’t work now). Hopefully, will meet some sellers who have what I need. Regards, Yasser.
We have an in-house expert on regimental histories: DRyan67 a US resident. Once you have posted five times you can use the PM function using 'Start a Conversation'.
Yes, I noticed him in some posts yesterday. I will reach out to him. Thanks very much. Regards, Yasser.
