Tagged: Essex Regiment, M.I. School, Poona
Looking through the gallery on this site I came across a photograph titled No 5 Section (Essex Regiment) M.I. School, Poona, India 1910 – 1911
In the photograph was my grandfather Percy Bruce. I have his Service record and other information and was aware he served in India and was posted there during these years. However I do not know what the M.I. School is or was. Can anyone help with some information on this please?
Using Google https://books.google.com.cy/books?id=oS8RBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT99&lpg=PT99&dq=mi+school+poona&source=bl&ots=jSqkORU2ll&sig=NErEjPnnuAK2sRMAbdHdX_85nPo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiikPru9czLAhUHtxQKHUaQC1wQ6AEIHjAA#v=onepage&q=mi%20school%20poona&f=false which I believe says Mounted Infantry is the answer. My understanding is that MI used horses to get to the action and then dismounted and worked as infantry whereas cavalry were trained to fight from horseback but could operate on foot as a secondary role. I stand to be corrected as a retired mechanised gunner.

Many thanks for the reply and information. That gives me a great step forward for further research.
