My mother was a Simpson from County Tyrone and her uncles enlisted in the 78th Highlanders and were killed in India or Afghanistan and I'd like to know more if that can be found. Their Christian names were Thomas, John, Walter, James, Hugh and Robert. Family story is that possibly only 4 served in India or Afghanistan. They may have enlisted when the regiment was in Ireland 1871 - 1873.
If anyone has any info, then I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
