Original Text from book
Bunny, Lieut. Arthur Cautley, B.S.C., 1st Regt. Sikh Infantry, P.F.F., MR8 (2 refs.) SH307, HAAL:79, HAAL:80, HAAL:81, HAAL:82 [p. 18 contains a letter questioning whether he crossed the frontier and was eligible for the medal, but not suggest he was not. SH225 states that he left Sibi to join the Regt. at Kandahar, but en route was struck by sunstroke and was returned to India. Since Sibi was often considered the frontier, his medal claim appears to have been accepted; if it had not, he would not appear here s.v. 66th (Berkshire) Regt.
