My wife was born in Ahmednagar on 6th December 1942 and her father was
Staff Sergeant Leonard George HOLT.
He joined the DCLI in Birmingham in 1930 and spent the next 11 years in India and was already in Meerut when he transferred to the newly formed 26th Hussars on the 1st February 1941.
After the Unit disbanded they left India and arrived back in England on the 9th September 1943.
We are going to India in 2 weeks time for a holiday and will be staying in Pune and Ahmednagar for the first four days to try and research where my wife was born and the history of the 26th Hussars.
I would like the opportunity to talk to you before then if that is possible.
Best wishes
Brian
