Major (later General, C.B.) Edmund F. Waters, 17th N.I., later commanding Dingapore Battalion - 5 clasps, Allighur, Battle of Delhi, Defence of Delhi, Nepaul, Ava. Edmund Frederick Waters was born in 1784 and entered the Bengal Army in 1799. His services are thus described in The East Indies Military Calendar, Vol. III, London 1826: ‘In 1799, this officer was appointed a Cadet: he arrived in India in 1800, and joined the army as an Ensign. In 1803, war was declared against the confederated. Mahratta princes, and the corps to which Ensign Waters belonged [2/17th N.I.] formed part of the grand army, under the personal command of Lord Lake. He served during the two campaigns, and was with the storming party that assaulted the strong fortress of Allyghur, which place was taken after two hours' severe exposure and fighting: he was also with the small force of 5000 men that defended Delhi, under the late Major-General Burne, in 1804-5. In 1804, he had obtained the rank of Lieutenant; and in 1805, he was appointed to a regimental Staff situation, which he held till 1814, when he vacated it on his promotion to the rank of Captain. In the interim, he served with his regiment, and was on service against the Goorkahs in the Nepaul war. In 1821, he was appointed to the command of a frontier battalion, and in 1825, obtained his majority. In 1824, war was declared against the Burmese empire, and Major Waters was destined to act with his battalion in the division of the army, commanded by Brigadier Alfred Richards, that has conquered the petty kingdom of Assam. In the 2d campaign of the Burmese war, Major Waters was detached, with the disposable part of his battalion, from the main force, and for his exertions and services on this occasion, he received the thanks of the highest military authorities. Major Waters, with the head-quarters of the Dinagepoor battalion, amounting, in effective strength, to about 250 men, and a brigade of gun-boats, mounting pounder cannonades, quitted the post of Gowahutty on the 19th Oct., for the purpose of surprising and dislodging the enemy on the line of the river Kullung, and of occupying the position of Raha Chokey, a centrical point, keeping in check the main body of the enemy stockaded at Noagong, and also commanding the mountain passes leading from Cachar. On the second day the division arrived at the mouth of the Kullung, at its confluence with the Sonage and the Brahmaputra, distant from Gowahutty about 15 miles; and the following day, with the advantage of a favourable wind, passed the deserted post of Kejleechokey, and overtook the advanced party, under Lieut. Jones, of the 46th regiment, temporarily attached to the command (60 men). For many succeeding days the progress of the division was extremely slow and tedious, owing to the rapidity of the current, in a channel peculiarly winding and tortuous, and the nature of the banks, which were overgrown with high and impervious reed jungle, and did not admit of the usual mode of tacking. On the 26th, the division reached the village of Jaghee, now nearly depopulated; and about that time Major Waters received intelligence of a party of the enemy being stationed at a village inland, called Hautgong, or Sautgong, where they were committing plunder and ravage upon the surrounding district. On the following morning, the division passed the deserted village, and the same evening reached a point of the river opposite the village of More Kullung, from whence the road to Hautgong branched off, and reported to be a distance of eight or nine miles. In consequence of confirmed intelligence of the strength and position of the enemy's party, Major Waters determined on giving them an alert; and disembarked at midnight with one hundred men for that purpose: after marching (officers, as well as men, on foot) for about four miles, they reached the village of More Kullung on the edge of a broad and deep jeel, which the detachment crossed by rafts. At this time there commenced heavy rain, which continued, with little intermission, during the whole of the march. The road, for the first ten miles, was practicable, and though occasionally passing through tracts partly inundated, did not generally offer much difficulty. The distance, however, proved to be nearly double that previously estimated; and, in addition, the fatigue was much increased by the nature of the country, the last eight miles being through rice-fields, almost entirely knee, and sometimes waist, deep in water. The heavy rain and mist, however, aided the surprises and the detachment arrived, at about 8 o'clock, unperceived, on the enemy's position, into which it immediately dashed: The slaughter, however, was comparatively small, owing to the numerous outlets from the village favouring the escape of the enemy, and the depth of the surrounding jungle: many Burmese fell, and some women and plunder were captured in returning from the pursuit. The former were released, on being claimed by their families. By following mistaken information, the detachment, on its return to the fleet, experienced added fatigue and difficulty in a bad and circuitous route, and did not reach the boats till the following morning, having been compelled to bivouac in a small village for the night. The distance traversed cannot be estimated at less than from thirty-five to forty miles. On the 30th, the division resumed its progress up the Kullung, meeting with rather more favourable ground for tacking, and less strength of current, though in a channel equally devious and winding. Major Waters, of course, deemed that the knowledge of his advance upon Raha Chokey could no longer be concealed from the enemy, after the alarm excited by the attack on Hautgong; but on approaching that post, he had reason to believe that their attention had rather been diverted to the line of the great river, in which Major Cooper was then proceeding; and that they attributed the alert to a detachment from that quarter. He, in consequence, made arrangements for surprising them; and having pushed in, with a party of 200 men in the gun and light boats, landed a little below their post at Raha Chokey, and sueceeded in reaching it, unperceived, by early day-break. Major Waters, having taken a rapid view of the place, divided his party into two,...

Twelve: Subadar F. Sher, Frontier Force Regiment, Pakistan Army, late Indian Army Pakistan, Tamgha-I-Khidmat, Second Class neck badge, silver and enamel; Sitara-I-Harb 1965 (PJO-190102 Sub Fateh Sher FFR); Sitara-I-Harb 1971, unnamed; General Service Medl, 1 clasp, Dir-Bajaur 196-62, unnamed; War Medal 1965; War Medal 1971; Pakistan Independence Medal 1947 (3438680 L/Hav Fateh Sher 12.F.F.R.); Republic Day Medal 1956, unnamed; 1939-45 Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45; India Service Medal, very fine and better (12) £80-£100 --- Fateh Sher attested for the Indian Army on 12 June 1940. A Muslim Punjabi of the Awan tribe, he served initially on the North West Frontier with the 7th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment. Raised Lance Naik 22 August 1943, his unit were soon posted to the 39th Training Division near Dehra Dun for jungle training. Promoted Naik, he joined the 8th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment on 5 November 1944, and was sent to Burma in October 1944 as part of 19th (Dagger) Division. Following vicious fighting against Japanese forces, the 19th Division broke out from the Sittang Bridgehead with orders to take Pinlebu on 4 December 1944. A few days later, Sher and his comrades crossed the Irrawaddy to the north of Mandalay, facing repeated enemy counter attacks in the process. Mandalay fell to Allied forces on 20 March 1945 after 10 weeks of exceptionally heavy fighting, including the capture of Fort Dufferin. The 19th Division had not only cleared the Japanese from Mandalay, Maymio and a large area of Burma, but had also caused 6,000 casualties to the enemy. Promoted Havildar on 22 August 1945, Sher likely returned to Calcutta with the 8th Battalion in April 1946, before opting for service with the Army of Pakistan upon the partition of India on 15 August 1947. Sold with extensive copied research.

Appointed Sergeant, he was discharged as a consequence of his wounds on 18 July 1918 and was awarded a Silver War Badge No. 429,468. The award of a clasp to his 1914 Star is confirmed and his Great War pair were returned and later reissued on 6 October 1940.
