Indian army: claim for widow's pension
Brodie was an Indian army officer with the 103rd Mahratta Light Infantry. Seriously wounded and then captured in the retreat from Ctesiphon in Mesopotamia in December 1915, he subsequently died while in Turkish captivity in Constantinople in April 1917. Captain Brodie's widow argues that she should be awarded a full officer's pension, as her husband's death was due 'directly or wholly to war service'. Her claim is supported elsewhere in the file by the testimonies of the four officers who were with Brodie in Constantinople (see his service record in WO 339/5906).
