Revision as of 09:55, 11 January 2012

Sources for locating the stations of British Army regiments, battalions or batteries in India.

See also:

Army stations are frequently listed in directories and publications such as The Army and Navy Gazette, the United Service Magazine and even some newspapers. These may be consulted online where available, refer Military periodicals online, or in national libraries. This article details some online sources that may provide significant shortcuts when it comes to finding regiments.

Nafziger Collection documents

The following table links to pdf documents from The Nafziger Collection of Orders of Battle which are derived from sources such as The Army and Navy Gazette. Text documents may also be accessed from the Nafziger Collection website.

Please note that some years do not contain information relating to the Royal Artillery.

Although there does not appear to be any information relating to British troops in India after 1904 on the Nafziger Collection website, there is information available prior to 1862.

Afghanistan 1878-1882


1911 England and Wales Census

This National Archives catalogue entry shows the regiments in India which were included in the 1911 Census. The items (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. It appears that there were additional regiments in India at the time which are not included in the list, so the census is not complete for British Army regiments, or British Army personnel in India. Search the 1911 census data, free to search, but a pay site to view data.

Other sources
