    Default 2nd Battalion Border Regiment

    Where might I find detailed information about the movements of the 2/border regiment after ww1. I know they were posted to Malta, Rawalpindi and Tientsin in China. I would like to know what thet did there. My connection is with a "Harry" Greene QMS 2/Border Regiment.

    I found...

    1919 Ireland: Castlebar/Claremorris
    1922 England: Aldershot 1 Bde
    1924 Malta
    1925 Sudan
    1927 China: Tientsin
    1929.12 India: Rawalpindi
    1930 NW Frontier: Rawalpindi
    1931 Landi Kotal
    1934 Ferozepore
    1938.10 Calcutta
    1939 Calcutta

    You ask what they did there. I think they were just standard garrison postings. It's what happened in an empire. Tianjin (Tientsin) has a fairly interesting history. See Wikipedia.
