Battson

Hi

I'm looking for the war records of Frederick Battson and Charles Edwin Battson.

Frederick was born in 1875 Upminster. I have a picture of him in uniform in India in 1911 ish and I think he served in the 14th Hussars.

His brother Charles Edwin Battson born in 1877 Upminster was also in the army and died in Wynberg, South Africa in 1900.

Any help in tracing these or finding out more about their time in the army would be great.

Thank you

Frederick has 2 medal index cards he was awarded MSM in Egypt and went overseas after Jan 1916 with the Glamorgan Yeomanry.
