Pte. Frederick George Gilham
British Army 2nd Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment
from:Woolwich
We are trying to trace a photo as we have an old photocopy of Frederick George Gilham with a group of soldiers and in front of them there is a remarkable array of trophies. We think it may be boxing trophies? Musical trophies? Around 1916. Possibly in India. Or at East Surrey Barracks in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Also we are led to believe Frederick George Gilham was India Boxing Champion for 1918. Does anyone know anything about the Army boxing in India during WW1?
