You are one of lucky ones only 30% of records survive His is one
Doesnt look to have served in India he enlisted Aug 1914 and served with 10th and 3rd DLI and then Labour Corps he was wounded in lumbar area thats why he probably ended up in Labour Corps.

Just to let you know when you view records then instead of going forward with the arrow top right go backwards as well as there are further records.
He served in 129 Labour company as well as 10 DLI.
