My grandfather Joseph Olsen, worked as a captain for the Asiatic Steam Navigation Company, based in Calcutta before WW1. I know that by 1919 he was living back in Britain. I am curious to know what he was doing during the war years. Is it likely he remained in India (his wife and children came back to England in 1914 I think)? Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I might be able to find more information about him during the war years.
Any ideas much appreciated
