Many thanks for replies to medal question,
Sadly nothing on the edges of war-defence medals at all (noticed that black patina? appears to a lesser degree on the reverse of those two as well as the stars so mebbe all five been together for a while?)
Doesn't look like i will ever know who's they were.....wish they could speak!! perhaps his records did indeed end up as mouse or birds nest!
Did wonder about signing to an ancestry site for a year, perhaps he lived in UK? i have other named Militaria items so it would be worth it i guess.
Did check CWGC site.
Only other Indian items i have are the 8th Indian patches i posted a while ago that came with Cassino battle maps and single Royal Artillery shoulder title.
