Hi Julie,
Certainly in the photo Larry is a Captain (three pips) and it would appear that his fellow officer is a Lieutenant (two pips). As yet I am unable to identify the other officer.
I can confirm that there was a British Military Hospital (BMH) in Bangalore - although at this stage I'm not sure what number it was.
I have to say that the small extract of Larry's Service Records is quite unlike any that I have seen and do not seem to contain the usual Pt II Order Nos, service jargon, abbreviations etc. They also seem to be written in a very unfamiliar hand - most of the No5 Records I've seen have been written by a few people whose writing I've now come to recognise!
Have you recieved these documents recently? Are they photocopies of the originals or just transcripts?
Is it possible to see a larger portion - including the various signatures?
Regards,
Nick
