Can anyone point me in the correct direction in finding the above soldiers citation in the London Gazette? Major Wheeler was serving with 7th Hariana Lancers and was killed at Shaiba on April 13th 1915. Sepoy Chatta Singh was serving with 9th Bhopal Infantry and was awarded his VC at the Battle of the Wadi on 13th January 1916. I fear i may well be not seeing the tree's for the forest on this one.
