    on the Commonwealth War Graves website (CWGC) there are 171 entries for gentlemen named Bir Singh, but none have the relevant numbers 6295 or 295

    https://www.cwgc.org/search-results/?Term=Bir+Singh



    I haven't been able to match the name and numbers anywhere

    I think all of those entries are from WW2.
    If I search for Bar Singh serving in WW1 I get no results.

    Reading a description of the book (which was published in 2014), the answer to your question appears to be 'no'. https://www.

    I don't know whether I am allowed to advertise another forum but there is one named Great War Forum

    https://www.greatwarforum.org/

    as whimsy says the great war forum is a pretty definitive source for information from WWI for all regiments. If they don't know the answer then no one will. Indian Soldiers are notoriously difficult to find named within British historical records, although it is possible the Indian National archives would be more useful since many records were transferred there, as far as I am aware anyway.
