Are there any B-G Members who are familiar with the History in India Himalayas 1906 -1915? As I think 1906 is when my grandfather Humphrey Weaver transferred/joined the Indian Army.
Does anyone know if this regiment had anything to do with Hong Kong in 1906/7 where they there in Hong Kong as this is where he met my Grandmother? Clytie Weaver[/[B]nee Wheeler]
Are there any B-G members familiar with famiy names and place names in Sikkim Gantok, Tibet for these times 1906-19015?
Could anyone kindly tell me please of what the 114th Mahrattas Indian Army was doing on the frontiers of the Tibetan boarder 1906 to 1915 and where they were? I know they were defending the boarders from the Chinese and Russians but there was a lot of involvement with the Dalia Lama in Tibet meetings in Phari 1912 with Captain Leslie Weir and Captain Humphrey Weaver meetings with His Holiness the 13TH Dalia Lama. in Phari
(This is the army list, but I do not know what it means)? I know the 114th Mahrattas was founded 6th March 1800
(Raised 6 Mar. 1800.) Class Company Regiment. 4 Companies Konkani Mahrattas, 2 Companies Dekhani Mahrattas, 2 Companies Dekhan Mussalmans.
(I have been given this, but have not clue how to find out any information could someone please help or advice)? Head Quarters at Dibrugarh. Uniform Scarlet, Facings Yellow. Where is this?

Could this have been my grandfather’s commanding officer for the 114th Mahrattas Army been COLONEL Iredell, Lieut.-General F. S., 13 May 04? If not who was it?
I believe Humphrey Weaver was in charge of two companies. Double Company Officer, 22 Oct. 95. - But where?
Does anyone know how many officers there would have been, and how many Soldiers in the regiment?
How many altogether would have been on the Tibetan boarders?
Does this website exist? Maybe someone from B-G knows who to ask. India Office research.... http://www.bl.uk/collections/orientaloffice.html

This is Humphrey's Army History. It seems he joined the Indian army 1906. London Gazette has three entries, 1906-1919:
#27900 publ 3 Apr 1906: Indian Army, to be Second Lieutenant - 2nd Lieutenant H... W..., 114th Mahrattas, from the South Staffordshire Regiment; dated 22nd October 1905 but to rank from 28th Jan 1903'
#27914, 18 May 1906, India Office - promotion 2nd Lieut to Lieut, dated 22nd Oct 1905.
#28463 7 Feb 1911, Lieut to Captain, dated 26 Dec 1910.
I have seen this from The India Office collection at the British Library [[email protected]] has two catalogue refs, one to HW's memorial inscription at Basra, the other to a biographical file.
I thank anyone in advance who will be kind enough to investigate and give me some information my best wishes Joanna
