Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about this piece. I bought it with all of the contents, including the original pencil and pencil sharpener. I assume that it is a private purchase piece (unless anybody can tell me different) and the documents it contains obviously relate to Far East campaign (given the reference to Punjabs and Mahrattas).
If anybody has a thoughts as to who it belonged to (i.e, rank, regiment, etc - there is no name written in it that I can find) or has any comments with regards to the documents please post away!
