Lists of birth, marriage and death, usually under the heading "Domestic Occurrences" and lists of ships sailing and their passengers embarking/disembarking at various ports can be found towards the back of most annual directories published before about 1850. This type of information can also be found in the more frequent monthly or quarterly journals and newspapers. '''These periodical publications are listed in [[Newspapers and journals online]]'''.

For more details of the information contained in the books, refer to the [[Directories reading list]], which also has information about libraries which hold copies of the books, and alternative versions available on CD-Rom and microform.

Previously there were some online volumes available from the National Library of India. These are no longer accessible but perhaps may become available in the future, possibly on [https://indianculture.gov.in indianculture.gov.in], or elsewhere. The years previously available were 1807, 1811, 1813, 1816, 1819-20, 1822-25, 1831-36, 1838-43, 1848.

===FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms===
*''An East-India Register and Directory'' [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/778871 Microfilm catalogue entry for multiple volumes]. Note: Microfilm ordering ceased September 2017, however all volumes have been digitised and are available for viewing at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]], or FamilySearch Affiliate Library, including at least one edition per year, with generally two, from '''1803''' to two editions for '''1860, the latter year not available elsewhere online'''. Note, it is recommended that you use this option only if there are no other versions available, due to possible restricted geographical access, and the format for viewing the digital images. See [[FamilySearch Centres]] for details.
:'''Note''' At times (c 2019 January) a message has been seen advising images are not available. However it appears this is an error (bug) and if you re-access the digital file, (perhaps this will be necessary multiple times) the usual message that it can be viewed at a FHC or Affiliate Library should eventually appear. This error message may also appear when you are attempting to access the films at a FamilySearch Centre. June 2019, this error appears to have been fixed, but this wording has been left in case the error reappears.

*''The Indian Army and Civil Service List''. HathiTrust Digital Library, Google Books,Internet Archive (Archive.org) and Ancestry. The title commenced in 1861 and in 1877 changed to ''The India List Civil and Military'' which was published to 1895. There were two editions per year, in January and July. A new series ''The India Office List'' commenced 1886 as a yearly publication, however this was a limited publication when first issued, but it should be noted for the years 1886-1895 there were two different publications. The ''Indian Army List'' appears to have commenced as a separate publication in October 1889.

:'''FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms'''
:Refer ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. Two volumes per year are generally available to 1895, so it seems likely these will be volumes of ''India List Civil and Military'', rather than ''India Office List'' which commenced in 1886 as a yearly publication. Volumes of the latter title are available to 1947 in this series of digitised microfilms. Note also there are ''Indian Army List''s available online from 1890, refer above. Microfilm ordering service ceased September 2017. Refer comments under ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. It is recommended, due to the slow viewing format, that you only use this source if the volume you are seeking is not otherwise available, on Ancestry or elsewhere.

*From 1870 to 1893, ''The New Annual Army List'' contained an Indian Civil Service List. The full title of the publication was 1870-1880, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Indian Civil Service List''; 1881-1893, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List''.

Prisoners of the Turks (First World War)

2026-07-25T02:12:07Z

Maureene: /* Historical books online */

Officers who were captured were generally treated better than “other ranks”, who almost always experienced terrible conditions, often leading to death.

Of approximately 2,962 white British officers and other ranks captured at Kut, 1,782 would go on to die in Ottoman captivity. Indian prisoners along with their white comrades, experienced a horrific death march from Kut-al-Amara to the northern railhead at Ras-el-Ain (in modern day Syria).<ref> "Prisoners of War" by Heather Jones. encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net. 'Section 6: Mistreatment' contains information about prisoners in Turkey. See [[Prisoners of the Turks (First World War)#External links|External links, above]].</ref> Some died in captivity while still in Mesopotamia, including at a camp at Mosul.

Officers were not required to work, but other soldiers were. The horrible truth appears to have been that only those men fit enough to work survived. Those who were unfit to work died due many reasons, but including the policy that only working prisoners were provided with food.

Afyonkarahisar was used as a prison camp from early 1915 both officers and men being kept in houses, rather than in a proper camp with barbed wire around it. The first prisoners there were Russians, joined in early 1915 by officers and men from the French navy. From late April onwards, there was a small but steady flow of sailors and soldiers captured during the Gallipoli Campaign. Later, there were some prisoner captured at Kut in Iraq sent to the camp and other officers captured in Egypt, Syria and Jordan.<ref>Eceabat [Bill Sellars] [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/89524-turkish-pows-and-pows-in-afyonkarahisar/?do=findComment&comment=841330 Turkish POW's and POW's in AfyonKarahisar] ''Great War Forum'' 19 January , 2008. Retrieved 19 June 2018.</ref>

Most subsequent camps were associated with the construction, or running, of the Baghdad Railway, including related roadworks.

There were camps in Kastamonu, Eskisehir, Capadoccia, Cankiri, Afion, Sivas, Yozgat, Hacikiri, Belemedik.<ref>Dogan Sahin [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/1226-kut-pow/?do=findComment&comment=847997 Kut POW] ''Great War Forum'' 28 January 2008. Retrieved 19 June 2018..</ref>

*There was a prisoner exchange program, based on medical criteria, almost at the end of the war. Men were selected from all over Turkey and were sent to Smyrna. John Still was one of those evacuated by ship on 1 November 1918. See his account ''A Prisoner in Turkey'' in Historical books online, below.
*For the situation after the Armistice with Turkey on 30 October, 1918, see the account "How British Prisoners Left Turkey" by Lieutenant-Colonel E H Keeling, in Historical books online, below.

The most common evacuation route appears to have been by ship, from a Turkish port to Alexandria in Egypt, by another ship to Italy, (e.g. Brindisi or Tarranto), and then by train to Britain.

==Exhumation from graves and reburial, after the War==
After the War, c 1927, bodies from those POW graves from across Turkey which could be identified, were exhumed and reburied in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Baghdad (North Gate) War Cemetery.<ref>[http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/57303/BAGHDAD%20(NORTH%20GATE)%20WAR%20CEMETERY Baghdad (North Gate) War Cemetery] cwgc.org</ref> The website of the CWGC may contain a 'concentration' record if this has occurred, or if there is no 'concentration' record, there should be details in the grave registration reports. For graves which could not be identified, the names of the soldiers generally appear on a Memorial at Baghdad.

It is possible that only British soldiers, and not soldiers from the Indian Army, were exhumed and reburied.

Prisoners who died in captivity in Mosul, Mesopotamia are commemorated on the Memorial at Basra. It seems likely that none of the individual graves could be identified.<ref name=Mos> typandy.

==Mesopotamia==
For many accounts of members of the allied forces taken prisoner in Mesopotamia, especially after the fall of Kut, see [[Mesopotamia Campaign‎#External links|'''Mesopotamia Campaign-External links''' and '''Historical books online''']]

It appears there were many deaths of prisoners in Mesopotamia. There are records of deaths at a Prisoners Camp at Mosul.

The years previously available were 1807, 1811, 1813, 1816, 1819-20, 1822-25, 1831-36, 1838-43, 1848.

===FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms===
*''An East-India Register and Directory'' [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/778871 Microfilm catalogue entry for multiple volumes]. Note: Microfilm ordering ceased September 2017, however all volumes have been digitised and are available for viewing at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]], or FamilySearch Affiliate Library, including at least one edition per year, with generally two, from '''1803''' to two editions for '''1860, the latter year not available elsewhere online'''. Note, it is recommended that you use this option only if there are no other versions available, due to possible restricted geographical access, and the format for viewing the digital images. See [[FamilySearch Centres]] for details.
:'''Note''' At times (c 2019 January) a message has been seen advising images are not available. However it appears this is an error (bug) and if you re-access the digital file, (perhaps this will be necessary multiple times) the usual message that it can be viewed at a FHC or Affiliate Library should eventually appear. This error message may also appear when you are attempting to access the films at a FamilySearch Centre. June 2019, this error appears to have been fixed, but this wording has been left in case the error reappears.

A new series ''India Office List'' commenced 1886 as a yearly publication, so for some years there were two different publications. The ''Indian Army List'' appears to have commenced as a separate publication in October 1889.

:'''FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms'''
:Refer ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. Two volumes per year are generally available to 1895, so it seems likely these will be volumes of ''India List Civil and Military'', rather than ''India Office List'' which commenced in 1886 as a yearly publication. Volumes of the latter title are available to 1947 in this series of digitised microfilms. Note also there are ''Indian Army List''s available online from 1890, refer above. Microfilm ordering service ceased September 2017. Refer comments under ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. It is recommended, due to the slow viewing format, that you only use this source if the volume you are seeking is not otherwise available, on Ancestry or elsewhere.

*From 1870 to 1893, ''The New Annual Army List'' contained an Indian Civil Service List. The full title of the publication was 1870-1880, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Indian Civil Service List''; 1881-1893, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List''.

Due to different copyright laws, researchers in some regions, particularly those in North America, may be able to access books on websites such as Google Books, published at a later date than is possible for researchers in the UK

Lists of birth, marriage and death, usually under the heading "Domestic Occurrences" and lists of ships sailing and their passengers embarking/disembarking at various ports can be found towards the back of most annual directories published before about 1850. This type of information can also be found in the more frequent monthly or quarterly journals and newspapers. '''These periodical publications are listed in [[Newspapers and journals online]]'''.

The years previously available were 1807, 1811, 1813, 1816, 1819-20, 1822-25, 1831-36, 1838-43, 1848.

===FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms===
*''An East-India Register and Directory'' [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/778871 Microfilm catalogue entry for multiple volumes]. Note: Microfilm ordering ceased September 2017, however all volumes have been digitised and are available for viewing at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]], or FamilySearch Affiliate Library, including at least one edition per year, with generally two, from '''1803''' to two editions for '''1860, the latter year not available elsewhere online'''. Note, it is recommended that you use this option only if there are no other versions available, due to possible restricted geographical access, and the format for viewing the digital images. See [[FamilySearch Centres]] for details.
:'''Note''' At times (c 2019 January) a message has been seen advising images are not available. However it appears this is an error (bug) and if you re-access the digital file, (perhaps this will be necessary multiple times) the usual message that it can be viewed at a FHC or Affiliate Library should eventually appear. This error message may also appear when you are attempting to access the films at a FamilySearch Centre. June 2019, this error appears to have been fixed, but this wording has been left in case the error reappears.

A new series ''India Office List'' commenced 1886 as a yearly publication, so for some years there were two different publications. The ''Indian Army List'' appears to have commenced as a separate publication in October 1889.

:'''FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms'''
:Refer ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. Two volumes per year are generally available to 1895, so it seems likely these will be volumes of ''India List Civil and Military'', rather than ''India Office List'' which commenced in 1886 as a yearly publication. Volumes of the latter title are available to 1947 in this series of digitised microfilms. Note also there are ''Indian Army List''s available online from 1890, refer above. Microfilm ordering service ceased September 2017. Refer comments under ''East-India Register and Directory'' above. It is recommended, due to the slow viewing format, that you only use this source if the volume you are seeking is not otherwise available, on Ancestry or elsewhere.

*From 1870 to 1893, ''The New Annual Army List'' contained an Indian Civil Service List. The full title of the publication was 1870-1880, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Indian Civil Service List''; 1881-1893, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List''.

Indian Army List online

2026-07-21T14:18:23Z

Maureene:

This page is an attachment to [[Directories online]] and [[Military periodicals online]]

Search the [https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk Discovery Catalogue] The National Archives Kew which includes the British Library Archives and Manuscripts, for a catalogue entry for Indian Army List ‎ (1889 October-1947) '''IOR/L/MIL/17/5/1-219''', which includes a description of the frequency of publications at various periods and the editions which include War Services. For some years, a Supplement which contained war services of Indian Officers was published in January.

The following details are given in respect of the War Services editions<ref>Matthew B. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/308824-indian-soldier-possible-to-see-if-he-served-on-the-western-front-chanda-singh-15th-sikhs/page/2/#findComment-3351018 Indian Soldier - Possible to see if he served on the Western Front? Chanda Singh - 15th Sikhs] ''Great War Forum'' 14 December 2024. Retrieved 16 December 2024. </ref>
*Between 1908 and 1922, the war services supplement appeared in the January and July issues.
*Between 1923 and 1931 the war services supplement appeared in the January issue only.
*Between 1932 and 1934 they changed the issuing period of the Indian Army list from four times a year to two - April and October - with the war services supplement appearing in the April issue.
*They reverted to four times a year again as from January 1935 to January 1942 with the war services supplement, as before, appearing in the January issue only.
*No war services supplement to the Indian Army List was issued after that of January 1942.

''Indian Army List''s first appeared on the Digital Library of India website as pdf downloads in 2015. Most were recent additions from the Library of the United Service Institution of India, where the scanning quality of the digital files is good. However there are some older digital files where the scanning quality is very poor.

In January 2017 these DLI files were uploaded to the '''Internet Archive (Archive.org)''' and links are provided below. Books may be read online, or downloaded. The Digital Library of India is no longer operating.

'''Note''': Most volumes have an Index of names at the back of the book.

==== The Maidan ====
The site of [[Fort William]], the Maidan was (and still is) the centre of Calcutta. It was bounded on the west side by the Hooghly River and the Strand Road, and on the east side by Chowringhi Road. Government House, the Governor's residence, was at the north end of the Maidan and Belvedere, the residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, was near the southern end.

'''Bihar State''' is the 12th largest state in present day India. Bihar lies with [[West Bengal]] to the east, [[Uttar Pradesh]] to the west and [[Nepal]] to the North.

[[Darbhanga]] is the capital of the classical region of Mithila in the north eastern part of Bihar state. It was the biggest and richest Zamindari in India, spread over 2500 square miles consisting of more than 7000 villages, and with 15000 officials to look after the zamindari and several industrial units (cotton, sugar, jute, aviation, automobile dealership, share trading, media, iron & steel, dairies, cold storages, paper, etc).

The Maharajas of Darbhanga were not only known world wide for their benevolence, but also for their courage to speak out against the government inside the Council of States if anything was considered wrong by them. The last Maharaja, the late Sir Kameshwar Singh, had friends amongst the leading ruling houses of Europe such as the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Russia, etc. He donated money, land and houses to organizations such as YMCA and YWCA in Cairo, Egypt and Calcutta, the Queen's Fund, Canadian Nurses Association, RAF, etc. In India hundreds of educational institutions such as Banaras Hindu University, Aligarh Muslim University, Allahabad University, Patna University, etc received similar help from him. He donated even his personal residence at Darbhanga (Anandbagh Palace) to the Sanskrit University in Darbhanga.

Retrieved 28 October 2014</ref> Note however this wording no longer appears. It is believed the St. Andrew's Church burial registers (11 volumes) may have been digitised some years ago, (possibly when restoration work was done by INTACH in 2013-14) but currently (2019/01) they are not known to be available online. In the past a researcher reported a lack of response to emails, so a personal visit may be necessary. Note also that this church is now part of the [Anglican/Protestant] Church of North India, refer above.

== Howrah Bridge==
''See also separate page'' '''[[Howrah Floating Bridge and Howrah Bridge]]''' ''for further information''
 The Howrah Bridge was designed to link Howrah with the city of [[Calcutta]]. The old Floating Pontoon Bridge was built by Sir [[Bradford Leslie]] in 1874. It was largely a timber construction which opened to let river traffic through. [[Image:Howrah Bridge - Calcutta.jpg‎|right|thumb|200x|View of old Floating Pontoon Howrah Bridge]]

In 1937 work began on a new bridge - which is a landmark of Kolkata (Calcutta) today, being one of the foremost cantilever bridges in the world. It was formally opened in 1943 and the old bridge was decommissioned soon after in 1946. The new bridge was renamed Rabindra Setu in 1965 to honour Rabindranath Tagore - the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. However, it is still commonly referred to as the Howrah Bridge.

British Army

2026-07-19T05:26:25Z

Maureene: /* 1926 Ireland Census */

The '''British Army''' is the land-based forces of the United Kingdom. The British Army was heavily involved in Imperial affairs in India and most regiments (both infantry and cavalry) served in India at some point. Throughout the nineteenth century, and into the twentieth century, a significant number of British troops were stationed at India at any one time. In 1847, for instance, around 20% of British Army regiments were on the sub-continent, while at the outbreak of the First World War, around 30% of the British Army was based in India.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/worldwarshortacc00fieb#page/2/mode/2up Page 3] ''The world war; a short account of the principal land operations on the Belgian, French, Russian, Italian, Greek and Turkish fronts'' by Colonel G J Fiebeger 1921 Archive.org.</ref> The General staff were supported by the Staff Corps and the Office of the [[Quarter Master General]].

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could also be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of either the [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]].

==Regiments==
Any regiment name prefaced by the initials H.M. (''Her'' or ''His Majesty's'') is a British Army regiment, although the term is not strictly applied, especially amongst the ecclesiastical records. These regiments may be referred to as "Royal Regiments".

Regiments are divided across several arms of the army, these being the [[Cavalry]] (who fought mounted on horseback), the [[Infantry]] (soldiers who fought on foot) and the support arms such as the [[Artillery]] (who used weaponry such as canons and large guns) and the Engineers construction, demolition, surveying etc.) Also see '''Regiment names terminology''' below.

The article [[History of British Army Infantry Regiments]] is a general history of the origin and development of the infantry regiments and explains some of the reforms that took place.

*To browse the Infantry category, see [[:Category:British Army Infantry Regiments|British Army Infantry Regiments]]. From 1881, see [[1881 Regimental Titles]].
*To browse the Cavalry category, see [[:Category:British Army Cavalry Regiments|British Army Cavalry Regiments]]
*To browse the Artillery category, see [[:Category:British Army Artillery Regiments|British Army Artillery Regiments]]

The cap badges of a few regiments can be found in [[:Category:Cap badge images|Cap badge images]].

For regiments serving in India, when a regiment was to return to England, the men were given the opportunity to 'volunteer for' (join) another British Army regiment in India. The view seems to have been "A trained soldier in India is worth five recruits, and that soldier, when he is brought home, is not worth anything."<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ybk_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4 Page 4] ''The Regimental Companion: Containing the Pay, Allowances and Relative Duties of Every Officer in the British Service, Volume 3'' by Charles James 7th edition, considerably enlarged 1811 Google Books</ref>As an example, when the [[96th Regiment of Foot]] was ordered home in September 1854, a ‘great number of men’ volunteered for the [[32nd Regiment of Foot|32nd foot]], thirty volunteered for the [[43rd Regiment of Foot|43rd]], while twenty-two volunteered for the [[74th Regiment of Foot|74th Highlanders]].<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/36/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations, or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 36 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> However, when transferring to another unit, the soldiers were treated as new recruits, and lost any rank they had, reverting to the rank of a private,<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/38/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 38 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> although it appears likely that in practice they were promoted again reasonably quickly.

===Locating a regiment===
There are many ways to find out locations at which a regiment was stationed. More labourious methods include tracking through the muster rolls, army lists or station lists published in newspapers. Many of our regiment articles include a timeline of major stations.
*The archived website Regiments.org provides information about regimental deployments, which can range from general to specific. See [[British Army#Other 2|External Links - Other, below]].

==Wars and campaigns==
The British Army were involved in numerous wars, campaigns and battles in India and the surrounding region. The Fibiwiki has a [[Chronological list of wars and campaigns]].

*To browse wars in the region, see the [[:Category:Wars and Campaigns|Wars and Campaigns]] category.
*To browse battles, see the [[:Category:Battles|Battles]] category.

==Enlistment in India==
It was possible for a man born in India to enlist in the British Army in India, a fact to be considered when researching. Enlistment was possible for men with European parents, or [[Anglo Indian|Eurasian]] men of fair complexion―those whose looks allowed them to ‘pass’ as white.<ref> [https://international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org/index.php/IJAIS/article/view/71 Loyalty, Parity, and Social Control-The Competing Visions on the Creation of an ‘Eurasian’ Military Regiment in late British India] by Satoshi Mizutani ''The International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies'' Volume 10, No. 1, 2010</ref>

There are some early 1800s references to mixed race soldiers, mainly musicians, with 'black' complexions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100922100136/http://www.wellingboroughrec.org.uk/blackh/blackarm.htm "Black Soldiers in Northamptonshire Regiments of the British Army"] by John Ellis wellingboroughrec.org.uk , now archived.</ref> There is one reference to an Anglo Indian Boy Trumpeter in the [[Royal Artillery]] c 1936<ref> Pages 122-123, ''Pick up your Parrots and Monkeys: The Life of a Boy Soldier in India'' by William Pennington 2003. Now [https://archive.org/details/pickupyourparrot0000penn/mode/2up available online] Archive.org Books to Borrow/Lending Library.</ref>
===Enlistment and birth in other overseas British Empire countries===
When researching, keep in mind that similar to the situation in India, it was also possible for men from other countries to enlist when regiments were stationed in their countries.<ref> Rootsweb Australia Message Board 19 October 2004 post [http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.oceania.australia.general/4184/mb.ashx?pnt=1 Chelsea Pensioners - soldiers with an Australian connection] It includes details of two men who were born in Australia and served in the Madras Artillery</ref> Men whose fathers were in the British Army could be born anywhere in the world the British Army was stationed.

===Indians in the British Army===
There were a limited number of Indians who were part of the British Army. C 1911, there were Indian soldiers serving in the Royal Artillery as drivers, and native gunners in ammunition columns serving as wagon-men. <ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/armiesofindia00macmuoft#page/182/mode/1up Page 182] ''The Armies of India'' described by Major G F MacMunn (Painted by Major Lovett) 1911 Archive.org</ref> During the [[First World War]], there are Medal Index Card references to Lascars in the Royal Artillery, this rank was also known as a [[Gun Lascar]]. In 1924, [[Mountain Artillery|Indian Mountain/Pack Batteries]] became Batteries in the Royal Artillery, which was the situation until 1939 when the Indian Mountain Batteries were transferred from the Royal Artillery to the Indian Regiment of Artillery.
 During the [[First World War]] there are also references to Lascars in the Inland Water Transport, Royal Engineers.
 There were Indian and Burmese drivers and artificers in 1023 and 1024 Mechanical Transport Companies [[Royal Army Service Corps|ASC]], raised in Burma for service in Mesopotamia.
 From c 1921, there were Indian Mechanical Transport Companies, which were part of the [[Royal Army Service Corps]], until subsequently transferred to the Indian Army.
====Indian Platoon, British Army Infantry Regiment====
From early 1922 , shortly after the introduction of the Vickers Machine Guns into Infantry Battalions<ref name=Plat>capricorn.

Retrieved 17 July 2020.</ref>, an Indian Platoon, or Support Company was attached to each British infantry regiment serving in India up until November 1932. Each such platoon comprised one Indian officer and 42 other ranks, their primary duty being to lead and care for the mule packs upon which guns and ammunition of the Machine-Gun Company were carried. However, these soldiers appear to have been regarded as part of the Indian Army. <ref>[https://www.dnw.co.uk/media/auction_catalogues/Medals%2027%20Sep%2016.pdf Item 97 (8345 Qmr. Hav.

There are various sources of information for finding out about a man in the British Army.

===Army Lists===
''Army List''s are useful if you are researching an officer. There were Monthly, Quarterly and Annual editions published. Some of these were commercial publications, while some were official War Office publications, The official publications included ''Quarterly Army List''s from 1880 and ''Monthly Army List''s from August 1881. At least during the [[First World War]], only the Monthly Lists cover the officers in “battalion order”<ref> rflory [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/228278-army-list-copies-at-kew/?do=findComment&comment=2267381 Army List - copies at Kew?] ''Great War Forum'' 28 May 2015. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref>, but this listing probably appeared in earlier publications also. ''Quarterly Army List''s only list regular, career officers and not others such as temporary officers and territorial officers who are to be found in the ''Monthly Army List''s.<ref>rflory. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/236726-army-list-lookup/?do=findComment&comment=2369451 Army List lookup], posts 4 and 10. ''Great War Forum'' 26 February 2016. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref> The ''Monthly Army List''s are available on the open shelves at the National Archives and major libraries, (but date ranges may be unclear). Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections of ''Monthly Army List''s.

For British Library holdings, including regimental and regional lists, from 1642, see the BL guide [https://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/subjects%20images/government%20publications/pdfs/service-list-army-navy.pdf?la=en "Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force"].

For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known Monthly editions for August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that ''Monthly List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>

=====Online records=====
Genealogy websites such as [[findmypast]] and Ancestry, mentioned in the following sections, are pay websites. The basic subscription levels do '''not''' provide access to military records. Findmypast requires at least a Plus level of subscription for military records, while Ancestry requires at least a Premium level of subscription for military records, and additionally requires a higher level subscription for access to some military images. Generally these websites provide free access for a limited number of days during the year. Depending where you live you may be able to access such websites for free at a library near you. See [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips - Access some subscription websites with a Library Card]]. Access to such sites, including fold3, is also available at [[FamilySearch Centres]].

Where a record series appears on both findmypast, and Ancestry there may be differences in transcriptions of names which will affect the Search results. If you cannot initially find a record, it is suggested you try searching on both websites, and in addition on FamilySearch, a free website. Details of some of the military records on the latter site may be found under findmypast, below.

 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913]. The database description states that it includes index records from WO 97, WO 119, WO 121, WO 122, WO 131, but the associated browse images linked from the webpage appear to be for WO97 only. The index records include name, place of birth and estimated date of birth.
 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: Discharge Documents of Pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122)]. Note that the latter title is inaccurate, as WO 122 records are for the period 1816-1817 only. The index records include name, birth and place, and date of discharge.
 To view related images, you can search on [[findmypast]], and view the images on findmypast. This will be the most convenient option for most people. Alternatively you can access the images as digitised microfilm at a FamilySearch Family History Centre, see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]]'''.
 These record images are also available through the FamilySearch catalogue, where the individual digitised microfilms may be described: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea pensioners' service records, 1760-1913 [WO 97<nowiki>]</nowiki>]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: discharge documents of pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122) and in addition WO 119, WO 121, WO 131 records]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/254431 Probably WO 119, although not stated)]. From these catalogue entries, it is clear that the FamilySearch databases of Index records cover less records than the digital microfilms available through the FamilySearch catalogue. Note however, the digitised microfilms may be selected records only from the particular record series, not the entire National Archives record series.

: '''Notes''': [1] WO 76 images are also available on findmypast, refer above, and as a free download from The National Archives. [2] WO 97 images are also available on findmypast, refer above. Ancestry titles appear inaccurate in regarding dates. [3] The National Archives classifies WO 97 records to 1913, not beyond. [4] The WO 116 records available on Ancestry may possibly be derived from the National Archives microfilms, which do not extend past 1882, or 1893, depending on category, which are available as free downloads from the National Archives website, refer below. [4] WO 119 records are catalogued by the National Archives as "1757-1849".

'''Fold3'''
 [https://www.fold3.com/browse/1/ Fold3: All Databases].
 One of the databases is titled "UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admission And Discharge Records" with constituent records [1] Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Disability and Royal Artillery Out-Pensions. This record set only contains one piece. [2] "WO 116: Disability and Out-Pensions, Admissions", whose index records are available on Ancestry, refer above. Records to piece 165 (TNA last record WO 116/252); [3] 'WO 117: Length of Service Pensions, Admission Books. Records to piece 77 ; [4] WO 121: Discharge Documents of Pensioners. Records to piece 257; [5] WO 122: Discharge Documents, Foreigners' Regiments" Records to piece 14. The latter record series do not appear to be indexed on Ancestry. Note, not all pieces may be included.
 The fold3 database "Ireland, Royal Hospital Kilmainham Pensioner Discharge Documents" in addition to the WO 119 records indexed by Ancestry, also includes the database "Royal Hospital, Kilmainham: Pension Admissions", thought to be from WO 118.
 Note: WO 117 records are available as a free download from the National Archives website, refer below, and at least some WO 119, WO 121 and WO122 records are available on findmypast, refer above.

Fold3 contains a category [https://www.fold3.com/publication/933/military-books/browse Military Books] (In the Search use the search term "Military Books", which contains many online Naval & Military Press reprint books relating to both the British Army and the Indian Army. There are also additional titles in the War categories catalogued under the actual title, and a category Australia Military Book Collection, which covers varying periods periods, which appear to be original scans from "Gould Genealogy and History"/[https://www.gould.com.au/australian-and-states-military-collection/au0-u24/ "Australian and States Military Collection"]).

Fold3, an American company, generally provides free access for a limited number of days during the year, as an example 2019-2021 for a few days before and including "Memorial Day", a federal holiday in USA, the last Monday of May. (2021 free access for WW1 and WW2 records, and "Military Books" appears to have extended from c am Friday ET (Eastern Time) (being UTC−05:00; UTC = Greenwich Mean Time) to 11.59 pm ET Monday). 2020 free access for British records, including online books due to VE Day 8 May, with probable free dates 4-10 May (Monday-Sunday). However c October 2020 due to website changes, it is not clear whether Military Books are still considered British records.

'''Update'''. Following the 2021 purchase by Ancestry of the pay website Forces War Records, it appears that many/all? of the non-american records from Fold3 also now are available on Forces War Records, probably released late March 2023. From the [https://uk.forceswarrecords.com Home page], scroll to the bottom of the page and select Browse Records. Then scroll down the list of datasets to the required record set, including "Military Books", as available on Fold3, but possibly a smaller database. Forces War Records also includes a free dataset "Historical Documents Library", which however requires registration to view the books etc in it.

=====Kilmainham Pensioners=====
The records online at findmypast now include those men discharged through the Kilmainham Hospital in Ireland, as "British Army Pensioners - Kilmainham, Ireland 1783-1822". These records are held under TNA reference [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14327?v=r WO 119], and are similar to the Chelsea Pensioner records WO 97, above.

There are other records for Kilmainham , not digitised by findmypast, under [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14326?v=r WO 118] “Registers of in- and out- pensioners of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham”. In-pensioners were admitted until 1922.

**The book ''British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899'' by Norman K. Crowder includes all British Army pensioners who retired to any place outside of Great Britain for which records are available (1772-1899). There are 8,934 entries, transcribed from [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923393?v=r WO 120/35] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923427?v=r WO 120/69-70].

*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14329?v=r '''WO 121'''] records. These records are available online on findmypast , refer above. The records include "Register of men discharged without pension", 1884 to 1887. Although the catalogue does not mention this, there are many records of men leaving the army in India under the heading "Nominal list of men discharged by the Commander-in-Chief in India." As the register provides name, regimental number, rank, corps, date and cause of discharge, attestation date (and a few other administration details) it is an invaluable resource for those not able to find these details elsewhere.

These records are included in the National Archives catalogue entry [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C537 Records of the Royal Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals]. The latter hospital was in Ireland. This category of records also includes
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14324?v=r '''WO 116'''] Disability and all Royal Artillery pensions and
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14325?v=r'''WO 117'''] Pensions awarded to soldiers for length of service.

Some of these records, in particular WO 116 (for what appears to be WO 116/1-165 being Cavalry and Infantry Disability October 1715 to '''1882''' (when the records cease) and Royal Artillery 1 November 1833 to '''1893''') (when the records continue but are not digitised) and WO 117 ( October 1823 to '''1913''') are available to '''download free of cost''' from the National Archives website, though the Discovery catalogue, or the links above.

An interesting series of selected records is [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11584?v=r '''PIN 71''': Selected War Pensions Award Files for Service Prior to 1914]. This series consists of personal case files on disablement pensions arising from service in the Army or Navy before the First World War and case files concerning widows of such servicemen. The files contain medical records and details of place of birth, age, names of parents and siblings, religion, physical attributes, marital and parental status. The series appears to consist of approximately 6,300 individual files which are searchable by name online on the [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/ Discovery catalogue]. The actual files however are not available online.

Service and pension records from '''World War 1''' from the National Archives are available on the pay sites findmypast and Ancestry, refer above. They do '''contain some papers for men who did not serve in WW1''',<ref>Victorian Wars Forum [https://web.archive.org/web/20130709054504/http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7266&start=15 post] (now archived ) dated 17 July 2012 by Meurig. Other examples have been seen.</ref> so it is suggested you check these records for men with service prior to the War years. The World War 1 records include
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14567?v=r '''WO 363'''] records also known as the ‘Burnt Documents.’ These are the records which survived a fire, about one third of the total documents.

*'''PIN 82''', The National Archives record series from the Ministry of Pensions available on Findmypast in the database "British Armed Forces, First World War Widows' Pension Forms", located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/First World War. These are only a sample of the original forms, less than 2% of the original records. The rest of the collection was destroyed. Includes pension records for soldiers who died up to 1925.

====Muster rolls====
Unlike those of the presidency armies, muster rolls for British Army regiments stationed in India are not at the British Library but are instead at [[The National Archives]] at Kew in London.

Refer [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]], below, in particular the linked webinar "Army Musters".

The majority of the Muster records up to '''1878''' are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14223?v=h '''WO 12'''], including [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C52579?v=h '''Cavalry'''] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C88062?v=h '''Infantry'''], with Royal Artillery muster records in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C14221 '''WO 10''']. The catalogue describes the records as:
<blockquote>"...a comprehensive means of establishing dates of enlistment, movements throughout the world, and of discharge or death. The first entry may show age on enlistment. An entry on the form "Men becoming non-effective", sometimes to be found at the end of each quarter's musters, shows the birthplace, trade, and date of enlistment of any soldier discharged or dead during the quarter. From about 1868, at the end of each muster, may be found a Marriage Roll, which enumerates wives and children for whom married quarters were provided." </blockquote>
[[Image:72nd Married Roll 1877 (close up).JPG |right|thumb|325px| ''Detail from a 1877 Married Roll'']]
An 1877 example of data from a Marriage Roll can be seen in the image on the right.

From '''1878 to 1898''', all muster rolls are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C14227 '''WO 16''']. The majority of the records for the years 1878 to 1888 contain detailed pay lists with names. From 1888 onwards (WO 16/2917-3049) the series consists of company muster rolls only, and these do not contain pay lists. From about 1890, the muster rolls generally are only for men at Depots, and recruits, and do not generally include Battalions overseas.<ref> See National Archives webinar "Army musters – more than just accounts", around 14:30 min., above in [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]]</ref>

The Muster Rolls for the 63rd Regiment of Foot in the period 1819-1840 are known to contain Officers names<ref>Tilley, Megan [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031005859/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=87403 Troopships] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 3 July 2017, archived. </ref>, but generally the rolls are of enlisted men.

Muster roll records are unfortunately NOT available on [[LDS]] microfilms. If you are a FIBIS member and are unable to visit Kew, the [http://www.fibis.org/research/ FIBIS Research team] should be able to assist.

'''Please note that muster roll records may be missing for some Regiments and periods''', in India and generally. For example, there are virtually no muster roll records for the Royal Artillery in India.

===India Office military records at the British Library===
For a comprehensive description of sources available in the India Office Records, see Peter Bailey's article in ''[[FIBIS Journal]]'' 13.

There is a small collection of India Office records at the [[British Library]] called British Army Records '''IOR/L/MIL/15''' 1806-1930 ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3#1-3 catalogue entry] which includes links to subgroups including British Army: '''British troops embarked for India''' [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3-15#1-3-15 '''IOR/L/MIL/15/42-46'''] 1871-1889).
 '''Update''': The latter records are available<ref>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/british-army-embarkation-lists-1871-1889 British Army Embarkation Lists, 1871-1889] Findmypast database.</ref> on [[Findmypast]] (pay website), located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/Other Wars & Conflicts, (added 9 July 2021).

There are also reference books from the Military Department Library relating to the British Army '''IOR/L/MIL/17/1''' ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_1&cid=1-1-1#1-1-1 catalogue entry]), including Army Lists for the British Army, apart from publications specifically relating to the British Army in India.

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of one of the Presidency Armies, which are to be found at the British Library, see [[Presidency Armies]] for an overview, and [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]] for details.

===Ecclesiastical returns===
If the man married, had children or died out on the Sub-continent then records of these occurences can often be found in the India Office [[Church records]]. However, some regimental chaplains only filed their BMDs with the [[General Register Office]] in London. The British Army Overseas Indexes can be found in genealogical libraries, the National Archives and searched on various websites including findmypast.com and familyrelatives.com. Certificates of these army returns can then be obtained from the GRO by ordering them [http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates online]. For more details refer '''[[Chaplains Returns]]'''.

Note that if a record is available both in the [[Church records]] and in the [[General Register Office]] records, the latter may contain more information, at least for some time periods. By way of example, in 1903 the additional information available for a marriage record was the nationalities of the groom and bride, and the occupations of the fathers of the groom and bride.

====WW1 Casualty Lists====
In its military sense, the term "casualty" includes all those who are killed in action or who die of wounds, as well as those who are wounded, listed as missing, or taken prisoner of war.<ref>
[https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/definitions/casualties Casualty: definition] Australian War Memorial website.</ref>

WW1 Casualty Lists were initially published on a daily basis in newspapers, but WO original lists no longer appear to exist. They were then published weekly (on a Tuesday) by HMSO, as ''War Office Weekly Casualty List'' no.1-48 (7 Aug.1917 - 2 July 1918), and later as ''Weekly Casualty List (War Office & Air Ministry)'' no.49-83 (9 July 1918 - 4 March 1919), available at some libraries.

Daily lists may be found in online newspaper databases such as ''The [London] Times Digital Archive'', for access see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips]], and ''The Scotsman'' in Scotland, the latter initially all casualties but later limited to Scots related.

Naval & Military Press has published a number of facsimile reprints, in total 14 (9 for 1915, 2 for 1916, 1 for 1917, 2 for 1918)<ref>[https://www.naval-military-press.com/?s=British+Red+Cross+and+Order+of+St+John+Enquiry+List+&post_type=product ''British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry List For Wounded And Missing''] Naval & Military Press</ref> catalogued as ''British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry List For Wounded And Missing'', however the titles on the book covers do not contain the word ''for''. N&MP states the originals are held by the Department of Printed Books, The Imperial War Museum, “who hold the largest collection of these titles known to exist”. The IWM catalogue reference is "Enquiry list... : wounded and missing", part of Books, First World War, catalogue number LBY S. 6/767, and the holding details are 1915 (July-September), 1916 (February, September), 1917 (up to and including July 20th 1917, reprint), 1918 (October, December). Note: the IWM catalogue, when re-searching, often did not locate the item. In addition, elsewhere<ref>[https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?q=Enquiry%20List%20Wounded%20Missing&rn=2 Library Hub Discover catalogue record for BRCS Summary of work 17.7.15]</ref> it is advised that a publication available at IWM catalogued as ''The British Red Cross Society. Summary of Work for the week ending… '' includes a “report by the Enquiry Department for Wounded and Missing”, which '''possibly''' may include a List of names. These reports are catalogued by IWM as LBY BRCS B69- LBY BRCS B76 1914- 21 Oct.-4, 11, 24 Nov.-1, 5, 12, 19 Dec; LBY BRCS B77- LBY BRCS B87 1915- 2, 9, 16, 23 Jan.-6, 13, 20, 27 Feb.-6, 13, 27 Mar.; LBY BRCS B88- LBY BRCS B97 1915- 10, 17 Apr.-1, 8, 15, 29 May-5, 12, 19, 26 June; LBY BRCS B98- LBY BRCS B103 1915-3, 10, 17, 24? July-7, 21 Aug. LBY BRCS B104 Summaries of Work 11 September 1915 - March 1919. It is possible there may be additional IWM catalogue entries.

The Red Cross Archive in London is stated to hold additional lists to those reprinted by Naval and Military Press,<ref name=BRC/> but details could not be located in the Red Cross Archive [https://museumandarchives.redcross.org.uk/explore online catalogue], so it is unclear under what title they are catalogued. The [[British Library]] catalogue details one list ''Enquiry List, No. 21, 1918. Wounded and missing... up to November 20th, 1918'' (UIN: BLL01001129921). The Australian War Memorial Library holds copies, probably four, catalogued as ''Enquiry list : wounded and missing'' by British Red Cross and Order of St. John.

====Censuses====
=====1911 England and Wales Census=====
British Army personnel in India, together with their families appeared for the first time in an England and Wales Census in 1911, taken on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911. The 1911 Census is available on the pay websites [[findmypast]], Ancestry and perhaps other pay sites. This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C90811 National Archives] catalogue entry shows the regiments (overseas and Channel Islands) that were included in the 1911 Census. The items for India, (or the Indian Army out of India) (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. However, it is probable there were other regiments in India at this time. Note however, there are is at least one known instance of a soldier and his family known to be in the British Army in India at the time of the census, whose names do not appear in the census, another indication that the data may not be complete. (A GWF topic discusses some issues.<ref>Guest (the late Martin Gillott) [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/244538-1911-census-demographics-regular-battalions/?do=findComment&comment=2460719 1911 Census Demographics - Regular Battalions] ''Great War Forum'', page 2, 7 November, 2016 onwards.

The 1911 Census also includes similar information for other British Army overseas bases, and returns from ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports in England, Wales, Ireland but not Scotland, and abroad. For ships at sea on the census date, the next port of call determined into which category the records were placed.

Some regiments published a regular regimental journal which can be a valuable source of information. Examples are ''St George’s Gazette'', journal of the Northumberland Fusiliers,(previously [[5th Regiment of Foot]]) published from 1883 to 1968, and ''The Highland Light Infantry Chronicle'', journal of the Highland Light Infantry (previously [[71st Regiment of Foot]]), published quarterly from 1893 to 1958.

===Army personnel serving after January 1921===
Some years ago the Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section held Army Service records for officers whose service ended after April 1922 and soldiers whose service ended after January 1921.

== Conditions and activities==
=== Enlistment term===
From the end of the Napoleonic Wars until 1847, men were enlisted for twenty-one years, practically for life. From 1847 enlistment was for ten years, later increased to twelve; with a pension after twenty one years for extended service. From 1870, as part of the Caldwell Reforms, “short service” was introduced, where men enlisted for a period of time in the Army, the balance of time in the reserves (total twelve years). The standard term varied over time, including six and six, seven and five, three and nine, nine and three years, <ref> grumpy.

===Wives and families travelling to India===
For soldiers deployed from Britain to overseas garrisons only a proportion of men were allowed to be accompanied by their wives. For most countries the proportion was six wives per one hundred soldiers. However for India, and Australia, the ratio was twelve wives per one hundred men, including NCOs. The number of children was unlimited.<ref>Fuller, Tony [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031010929/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=12906952 Women on ships – again] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 11 August 2000, archived. (The author was researching at the Tower Hamlets Library).</ref> These wives and children were provided with food, accomodation and transportation by the Army and were classified as "on the strength".

British Army

2026-07-19T05:22:47Z

Maureene: /* 1911 and 1901 Ireland Census */

The '''British Army''' is the land-based forces of the United Kingdom. The British Army was heavily involved in Imperial affairs in India and most regiments (both infantry and cavalry) served in India at some point. Throughout the nineteenth century, and into the twentieth century, a significant number of British troops were stationed at India at any one time. In 1847, for instance, around 20% of British Army regiments were on the sub-continent, while at the outbreak of the First World War, around 30% of the British Army was based in India.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/worldwarshortacc00fieb#page/2/mode/2up Page 3] ''The world war; a short account of the principal land operations on the Belgian, French, Russian, Italian, Greek and Turkish fronts'' by Colonel G J Fiebeger 1921 Archive.org.</ref> The General staff were supported by the Staff Corps and the Office of the [[Quarter Master General]].

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could also be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of either the [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]].

==Regiments==
Any regiment name prefaced by the initials H.M. (''Her'' or ''His Majesty's'') is a British Army regiment, although the term is not strictly applied, especially amongst the ecclesiastical records. These regiments may be referred to as "Royal Regiments".

Regiments are divided across several arms of the army, these being the [[Cavalry]] (who fought mounted on horseback), the [[Infantry]] (soldiers who fought on foot) and the support arms such as the [[Artillery]] (who used weaponry such as canons and large guns) and the Engineers construction, demolition, surveying etc.) Also see '''Regiment names terminology''' below.

The article [[History of British Army Infantry Regiments]] is a general history of the origin and development of the infantry regiments and explains some of the reforms that took place.

*To browse the Infantry category, see [[:Category:British Army Infantry Regiments|British Army Infantry Regiments]]. From 1881, see [[1881 Regimental Titles]].
*To browse the Cavalry category, see [[:Category:British Army Cavalry Regiments|British Army Cavalry Regiments]]
*To browse the Artillery category, see [[:Category:British Army Artillery Regiments|British Army Artillery Regiments]]

The cap badges of a few regiments can be found in [[:Category:Cap badge images|Cap badge images]].

For regiments serving in India, when a regiment was to return to England, the men were given the opportunity to 'volunteer for' (join) another British Army regiment in India. The view seems to have been "A trained soldier in India is worth five recruits, and that soldier, when he is brought home, is not worth anything."<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ybk_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4 Page 4] ''The Regimental Companion: Containing the Pay, Allowances and Relative Duties of Every Officer in the British Service, Volume 3'' by Charles James 7th edition, considerably enlarged 1811 Google Books</ref>As an example, when the [[96th Regiment of Foot]] was ordered home in September 1854, a ‘great number of men’ volunteered for the [[32nd Regiment of Foot|32nd foot]], thirty volunteered for the [[43rd Regiment of Foot|43rd]], while twenty-two volunteered for the [[74th Regiment of Foot|74th Highlanders]].<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/36/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations, or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 36 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> However, when transferring to another unit, the soldiers were treated as new recruits, and lost any rank they had, reverting to the rank of a private,<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/38/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 38 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> although it appears likely that in practice they were promoted again reasonably quickly.

===Locating a regiment===
There are many ways to find out locations at which a regiment was stationed. More labourious methods include tracking through the muster rolls, army lists or station lists published in newspapers. Many of our regiment articles include a timeline of major stations.
*The archived website Regiments.org provides information about regimental deployments, which can range from general to specific. See [[British Army#Other 2|External Links - Other, below]]. Additionally individual Fibiwiki regimental pages generally include links to relevant regimental pages from Regiments.org.

==Wars and campaigns==
The British Army were involved in numerous wars, campaigns and battles in India and the surrounding region. The Fibiwiki has a [[Chronological list of wars and campaigns]].

*To browse wars in the region, see the [[:Category:Wars and Campaigns|Wars and Campaigns]] category.
*To browse battles, see the [[:Category:Battles|Battles]] category.

==Enlistment in India==
It was possible for a man born in India to enlist in the British Army in India, a fact to be considered when researching. Enlistment was possible for men with European parents, or [[Anglo Indian|Eurasian]] men of fair complexion―those whose looks allowed them to ‘pass’ as white.<ref> [https://international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org/index.php/IJAIS/article/view/71 Loyalty, Parity, and Social Control-The Competing Visions on the Creation of an ‘Eurasian’ Military Regiment in late British India] by Satoshi Mizutani ''The International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies'' Volume 10, No. 1, 2010</ref>

There are some early 1800s references to mixed race soldiers, mainly musicians, with 'black' complexions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100922100136/http://www.wellingboroughrec.org.uk/blackh/blackarm.htm "Black Soldiers in Northamptonshire Regiments of the British Army"] by John Ellis wellingboroughrec.org.uk , now archived.</ref> There is one reference to an Anglo Indian Boy Trumpeter in the [[Royal Artillery]] c 1936<ref> Pages 122-123, ''Pick up your Parrots and Monkeys: The Life of a Boy Soldier in India'' by William Pennington 2003. Now [https://archive.org/details/pickupyourparrot0000penn/mode/2up available online] Archive.org Books to Borrow/Lending Library.</ref>
===Enlistment and birth in other overseas British Empire countries===
When researching, keep in mind that similar to the situation in India, it was also possible for men from other countries to enlist when regiments were stationed in their countries.<ref> Rootsweb Australia Message Board 19 October 2004 post [http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.oceania.australia.general/4184/mb.ashx?pnt=1 Chelsea Pensioners - soldiers with an Australian connection] It includes details of two men who were born in Australia and served in the Madras Artillery</ref> Men whose fathers were in the British Army could be born anywhere in the world the British Army was stationed.

===Indians in the British Army===
There were a limited number of Indians who were part of the British Army. C 1911, there were Indian soldiers serving in the Royal Artillery as drivers, and native gunners in ammunition columns serving as wagon-men. <ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/armiesofindia00macmuoft#page/182/mode/1up Page 182] ''The Armies of India'' described by Major G F MacMunn (Painted by Major Lovett) 1911 Archive.org</ref> During the [[First World War]], there are Medal Index Card references to Lascars in the Royal Artillery, this rank was also known as a [[Gun Lascar]]. In 1924, [[Mountain Artillery|Indian Mountain/Pack Batteries]] became Batteries in the Royal Artillery, which was the situation until 1939 when the Indian Mountain Batteries were transferred from the Royal Artillery to the Indian Regiment of Artillery.
 During the [[First World War]] there are also references to Lascars in the Inland Water Transport, Royal Engineers.
 There were Indian and Burmese drivers and artificers in 1023 and 1024 Mechanical Transport Companies [[Royal Army Service Corps|ASC]], raised in Burma for service in Mesopotamia.
 From c 1921, there were Indian Mechanical Transport Companies, which were part of the [[Royal Army Service Corps]], until subsequently transferred to the Indian Army.
====Indian Platoon, British Army Infantry Regiment====
From early 1922 , shortly after the introduction of the Vickers Machine Guns into Infantry Battalions<ref name=Plat>capricorn.

Retrieved 17 July 2020.</ref>, an Indian Platoon, or Support Company was attached to each British infantry regiment serving in India up until November 1932. Each such platoon comprised one Indian officer and 42 other ranks, their primary duty being to lead and care for the mule packs upon which guns and ammunition of the Machine-Gun Company were carried. However, these soldiers appear to have been regarded as part of the Indian Army. <ref>[https://www.dnw.co.uk/media/auction_catalogues/Medals%2027%20Sep%2016.pdf Item 97 (8345 Qmr. Hav.

There are various sources of information for finding out about a man in the British Army.

===Army Lists===
''Army List''s are useful if you are researching an officer. There were Monthly, Quarterly and Annual editions published. Some of these were commercial publications, while some were official War Office publications, The official publications included ''Quarterly Army List''s from 1880 and ''Monthly Army List''s from August 1881. At least during the [[First World War]], only the Monthly Lists cover the officers in “battalion order”<ref> rflory [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/228278-army-list-copies-at-kew/?do=findComment&comment=2267381 Army List - copies at Kew?] ''Great War Forum'' 28 May 2015. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref>, but this listing probably appeared in earlier publications also. ''Quarterly Army List''s only list regular, career officers and not others such as temporary officers and territorial officers who are to be found in the ''Monthly Army List''s.<ref>rflory. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/236726-army-list-lookup/?do=findComment&comment=2369451 Army List lookup], posts 4 and 10. ''Great War Forum'' 26 February 2016. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref> The ''Monthly Army List''s are available on the open shelves at the National Archives and major libraries, (but date ranges may be unclear). Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections of ''Monthly Army List''s.

For British Library holdings, including regimental and regional lists, from 1642, see the BL guide [https://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/subjects%20images/government%20publications/pdfs/service-list-army-navy.pdf?la=en "Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force"].

For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known Monthly editions for August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that ''Monthly List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>

=====Online records=====
Genealogy websites such as [[findmypast]] and Ancestry, mentioned in the following sections, are pay websites. The basic subscription levels do '''not''' provide access to military records. Findmypast requires at least a Plus level of subscription for military records, while Ancestry requires at least a Premium level of subscription for military records, and additionally requires a higher level subscription for access to some military images. Generally these websites provide free access for a limited number of days during the year. Depending where you live you may be able to access such websites for free at a library near you. See [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips - Access some subscription websites with a Library Card]]. Access to such sites, including fold3, is also available at [[FamilySearch Centres]].

Where a record series appears on both findmypast, and Ancestry there may be differences in transcriptions of names which will affect the Search results. If you cannot initially find a record, it is suggested you try searching on both websites, and in addition on FamilySearch, a free website. Details of some of the military records on the latter site may be found under findmypast, below.

A researcher advised that Army service record images on findmypast are usually much better quality and Ancestry's service records may be poorly indexed, however Ancestry has the advantage that you can scroll to the records immediately before and after, which could be relevant.<ref>Wade, Andy.

 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913]. The database description states that it includes index records from WO 97, WO 119, WO 121, WO 122, WO 131, but the associated browse images linked from the webpage appear to be for WO97 only. The index records include name, place of birth and estimated date of birth.
 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: Discharge Documents of Pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122)]. Note that the latter title is inaccurate, as WO 122 records are for the period 1816-1817 only. The index records include name, birth and place, and date of discharge.
 To view related images, you can search on [[findmypast]], and view the images on findmypast. This will be the most convenient option for most people. Alternatively you can access the images as digitised microfilm at a FamilySearch Family History Centre, see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]]'''.
 These record images are also available through the FamilySearch catalogue, where the individual digitised microfilms may be described: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea pensioners' service records, 1760-1913 [WO 97<nowiki>]</nowiki>]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: discharge documents of pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122) and in addition WO 119, WO 121, WO 131 records]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/254431 Probably WO 119, although not stated)]. From these catalogue entries, it is clear that the FamilySearch databases of Index records cover less records than the digital microfilms available through the FamilySearch catalogue. Note however, the digitised microfilms may be selected records only from the particular record series, not the entire National Archives record series.

FamilySearch also contains the collection [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2125045 United Kingdom, World War I service records, 1914-1920] consisting of WO 363 and WO 364 index records and images.

: '''Notes''': [1] WO 76 images are also available on findmypast, refer above, and as a free download from The National Archives. [2] WO 97 images are also available on findmypast, refer above. Ancestry titles appear inaccurate in regarding dates. [3] The National Archives classifies WO 97 records to 1913, not beyond. [4] The WO 116 records available on Ancestry may possibly be derived from the National Archives microfilms, which do not extend past 1882, or 1893, depending on category, which are available as free downloads from the National Archives website, refer below. [4] WO 119 records are catalogued by the National Archives as "1757-1849".

'''Fold3'''
 [https://www.fold3.com/browse/1/ Fold3: All Databases].
 One of the databases is titled "UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admission And Discharge Records" with constituent records [1] Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Disability and Royal Artillery Out-Pensions. This record set only contains one piece. [2] "WO 116: Disability and Out-Pensions, Admissions", whose index records are available on Ancestry, refer above. Records to piece 165 (TNA last record WO 116/252); [3] 'WO 117: Length of Service Pensions, Admission Books. Records to piece 77 ; [4] WO 121: Discharge Documents of Pensioners. Records to piece 257; [5] WO 122: Discharge Documents, Foreigners' Regiments" Records to piece 14. The latter record series do not appear to be indexed on Ancestry. Note, not all pieces may be included.
 The fold3 database "Ireland, Royal Hospital Kilmainham Pensioner Discharge Documents" in addition to the WO 119 records indexed by Ancestry, also includes the database "Royal Hospital, Kilmainham: Pension Admissions", thought to be from WO 118.
 Note: WO 117 records are available as a free download from the National Archives website, refer below, and at least some WO 119, WO 121 and WO122 records are available on findmypast, refer above.

Fold3 contains a category [https://www.fold3.com/publication/933/military-books/browse Military Books] (In the Search use the search term "Military Books", which contains many online Naval & Military Press reprint books relating to both the British Army and the Indian Army. There are also additional titles in the War categories catalogued under the actual title, and a category Australia Military Book Collection, which covers varying periods periods, which appear to be original scans from "Gould Genealogy and History"/[https://www.gould.com.au/australian-and-states-military-collection/au0-u24/ "Australian and States Military Collection"]).

Fold3, an American company, generally provides free access for a limited number of days during the year, as an example 2019-2021 for a few days before and including "Memorial Day", a federal holiday in USA, the last Monday of May. (2021 free access for WW1 and WW2 records, and "Military Books" appears to have extended from c am Friday ET (Eastern Time) (being UTC−05:00; UTC = Greenwich Mean Time) to 11.59 pm ET Monday). 2020 free access for British records, including online books due to VE Day 8 May, with probable free dates 4-10 May (Monday-Sunday). However c October 2020 due to website changes, it is not clear whether Military Books are still considered British records.

'''Update'''. Following the 2021 purchase by Ancestry of the pay website Forces War Records, it appears that many/all? of the non-american records from Fold3 also now are available on Forces War Records, probably released late March 2023. From the [https://uk.forceswarrecords.com Home page], scroll to the bottom of the page and select Browse Records. Then scroll down the list of datasets to the required record set, including "Military Books", as available on Fold3, but possibly a smaller database. Forces War Records also includes a free dataset "Historical Documents Library", which however requires registration to view the books etc in it.

=====Chelsea Pensioners=====

=====Kilmainham Pensioners=====
The records online at findmypast now include those men discharged through the Kilmainham Hospital in Ireland, as "British Army Pensioners - Kilmainham, Ireland 1783-1822". These records are held under TNA reference [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14327?v=r WO 119], and are similar to the Chelsea Pensioner records WO 97, above.

There are other records for Kilmainham , not digitised by findmypast, under [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14326?v=r WO 118] “Registers of in- and out- pensioners of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham”. In-pensioners were admitted until 1922.

**The book ''British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899'' by Norman K. Crowder includes all British Army pensioners who retired to any place outside of Great Britain for which records are available (1772-1899). There are 8,934 entries, transcribed from [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923393?v=r WO 120/35] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923427?v=r WO 120/69-70]. Each entry has one line, in the form "51st Regiment of Foot; Josh ABBOTT; pension awarded 27 Sept 1842; residence - Hobart Town, Australia; died 22 Apr 1871.

*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14329?v=r '''WO 121'''] records. These records are available online on findmypast , refer above. The records include "Register of men discharged without pension", 1884 to 1887. Although the catalogue does not mention this, there are many records of men leaving the army in India under the heading "Nominal list of men discharged by the Commander-in-Chief in India." As the register provides name, regimental number, rank, corps, date and cause of discharge, attestation date (and a few other administration details) it is an invaluable resource for those not able to find these details elsewhere.

These records are included in the National Archives catalogue entry [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C537 Records of the Royal Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals]. The latter hospital was in Ireland. This category of records also includes
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14324?v=r '''WO 116'''] Disability and all Royal Artillery pensions and
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14325?v=r'''WO 117'''] Pensions awarded to soldiers for length of service.

Some of these records, in particular WO 116 (for what appears to be WO 116/1-165 being Cavalry and Infantry Disability October 1715 to '''1882''' (when the records cease) and Royal Artillery 1 November 1833 to '''1893''') (when the records continue but are not digitised) and WO 117 ( October 1823 to '''1913''') are available to '''download free of cost''' from the National Archives website, though the Discovery catalogue, or the links above.

An interesting series of selected records is [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11584?v=r '''PIN 71''': Selected War Pensions Award Files for Service Prior to 1914]. This series consists of personal case files on disablement pensions arising from service in the Army or Navy before the First World War and case files concerning widows of such servicemen. The files contain medical records and details of place of birth, age, names of parents and siblings, religion, physical attributes, marital and parental status. The series appears to consist of approximately 6,300 individual files which are searchable by name online on the [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/ Discovery catalogue]. The actual files however are not available online.

Service and pension records from '''World War 1''' from the National Archives are available on the pay sites findmypast and Ancestry, refer above. They do '''contain some papers for men who did not serve in WW1''',<ref>Victorian Wars Forum [https://web.archive.org/web/20130709054504/http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7266&start=15 post] (now archived ) dated 17 July 2012 by Meurig. Other examples have been seen.</ref> so it is suggested you check these records for men with service prior to the War years. The World War 1 records include
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14567?v=r '''WO 363'''] records also known as the ‘Burnt Documents.’ These are the records which survived a fire, about one third of the total documents.
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14568?v=r '''WO 364'''] records
*'''PIN 82''', The National Archives record series from the Ministry of Pensions available on Findmypast in the database "British Armed Forces, First World War Widows' Pension Forms", located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/First World War. These are only a sample of the original forms, less than 2% of the original records. The rest of the collection was destroyed. Includes pension records for soldiers who died up to 1925.

====Muster rolls====
Unlike those of the presidency armies, muster rolls for British Army regiments stationed in India are not at the British Library but are instead at [[The National Archives]] at Kew in London.

Refer [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]], below, in particular the linked webinar "Army Musters".

The majority of the Muster records up to '''1878''' are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14223?v=h '''WO 12'''], including [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C52579?v=h '''Cavalry'''] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C88062?v=h '''Infantry'''], with Royal Artillery muster records in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C14221 '''WO 10''']. The catalogue describes the records as:
<blockquote>"...a comprehensive means of establishing dates of enlistment, movements throughout the world, and of discharge or death. The first entry may show age on enlistment. An entry on the form "Men becoming non-effective", sometimes to be found at the end of each quarter's musters, shows the birthplace, trade, and date of enlistment of any soldier discharged or dead during the quarter. From about 1868, at the end of each muster, may be found a Marriage Roll, which enumerates wives and children for whom married quarters were provided." </blockquote>
[[Image:72nd Married Roll 1877 (close up).JPG |right|thumb|325px| ''Detail from a 1877 Married Roll'']]
An 1877 example of data from a Marriage Roll can be seen in the image on the right.

From '''1878 to 1898''', all muster rolls are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C14227 '''WO 16''']. The majority of the records for the years 1878 to 1888 contain detailed pay lists with names. From 1888 onwards (WO 16/2917-3049) the series consists of company muster rolls only, and these do not contain pay lists. From about 1890, the muster rolls generally are only for men at Depots, and recruits, and do not generally include Battalions overseas.<ref> See National Archives webinar "Army musters – more than just accounts", around 14:30 min., above in [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]]</ref>

The Muster Rolls for the 63rd Regiment of Foot in the period 1819-1840 are known to contain Officers names<ref>Tilley, Megan [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031005859/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=87403 Troopships] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 3 July 2017, archived. </ref>, but generally the rolls are of enlisted men.

Muster roll records are unfortunately NOT available on [[LDS]] microfilms. If you are a FIBIS member and are unable to visit Kew, the [http://www.fibis.org/research/ FIBIS Research team] should be able to assist.

'''Please note that muster roll records may be missing for some Regiments and periods''', in India and generally. For example, there are virtually no muster roll records for the Royal Artillery in India.

===India Office military records at the British Library===
For a comprehensive description of sources available in the India Office Records, see Peter Bailey's article in ''[[FIBIS Journal]]'' 13.

There is a small collection of India Office records at the [[British Library]] called British Army Records '''IOR/L/MIL/15''' 1806-1930 ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3#1-3 catalogue entry] which includes links to subgroups including British Army: '''British troops embarked for India''' [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3-15#1-3-15 '''IOR/L/MIL/15/42-46'''] 1871-1889).
 '''Update''': The latter records are available<ref>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/british-army-embarkation-lists-1871-1889 British Army Embarkation Lists, 1871-1889] Findmypast database.</ref> on [[Findmypast]] (pay website), located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/Other Wars & Conflicts, (added 9 July 2021).

There are also reference books from the Military Department Library relating to the British Army '''IOR/L/MIL/17/1''' ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_1&cid=1-1-1#1-1-1 catalogue entry]), including Army Lists for the British Army, apart from publications specifically relating to the British Army in India.

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of one of the Presidency Armies, which are to be found at the British Library, see [[Presidency Armies]] for an overview, and [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]] for details.

===Ecclesiastical returns===
If the man married, had children or died out on the Sub-continent then records of these occurences can often be found in the India Office [[Church records]]. However, some regimental chaplains only filed their BMDs with the [[General Register Office]] in London. The British Army Overseas Indexes can be found in genealogical libraries, the National Archives and searched on various websites including findmypast.com and familyrelatives.com. Certificates of these army returns can then be obtained from the GRO by ordering them [http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates online]. For more details refer '''[[Chaplains Returns]]'''.

Note that if a record is available both in the [[Church records]] and in the [[General Register Office]] records, the latter may contain more information, at least for some time periods. By way of example, in 1903 the additional information available for a marriage record was the nationalities of the groom and bride, and the occupations of the fathers of the groom and bride.

====WW1 Casualty Lists====
In its military sense, the term "casualty" includes all those who are killed in action or who die of wounds, as well as those who are wounded, listed as missing, or taken prisoner of war.<ref>
[https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/definitions/casualties Casualty: definition] Australian War Memorial website.</ref>

WW1 Casualty Lists were initially published on a daily basis in newspapers, but WO original lists no longer appear to exist. They were then published weekly (on a Tuesday) by HMSO, as ''War Office Weekly Casualty List'' no.1-48 (7 Aug.1917 - 2 July 1918), and later as ''Weekly Casualty List (War Office & Air Ministry)'' no.49-83 (9 July 1918 - 4 March 1919), available at some libraries.

Daily lists may be found in online newspaper databases such as ''The [London] Times Digital Archive'', for access see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips]], and ''The Scotsman'' in Scotland, the latter initially all casualties but later limited to Scots related.

The Red Cross Archive in London is stated to hold additional lists to those reprinted by Naval and Military Press,<ref name=BRC/> but details could not be located in the Red Cross Archive [https://museumandarchives.redcross.org.uk/explore online catalogue], so it is unclear under what title they are catalogued.

====Censuses====
=====1911 England and Wales Census=====
British Army personnel in India, together with their families appeared for the first time in an England and Wales Census in 1911, taken on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911. The 1911 Census is available on the pay websites [[findmypast]], Ancestry and perhaps other pay sites. This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C90811 National Archives] catalogue entry shows the regiments (overseas and Channel Islands) that were included in the 1911 Census. The items for India, (or the Indian Army out of India) (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. However, it is probable there were other regiments in India at this time. Note however, there are is at least one known instance of a soldier and his family known to be in the British Army in India at the time of the census, whose names do not appear in the census, another indication that the data may not be complete. (A GWF topic discusses some issues.<ref>Guest (the late Martin Gillott) [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/244538-1911-census-demographics-regular-battalions/?do=findComment&comment=2460719 1911 Census Demographics - Regular Battalions] ''Great War Forum'', page 2, 7 November, 2016 onwards.

====Regimental Journals====
Some regiments published a regular regimental journal which can be a valuable source of information. Examples are ''St George’s Gazette'', journal of the Northumberland Fusiliers,(previously [[5th Regiment of Foot]]) published from 1883 to 1968, and ''The Highland Light Infantry Chronicle'', journal of the Highland Light Infantry (previously [[71st Regiment of Foot]]), published quarterly from 1893 to 1958.
 Whether a journal existed may be included in the regimental information available on the website Regiments.org (refer below).
 For possible library sources, see [[British Army#Regimental histories|Regimental histories, above]].
 A limited number of journals are available online, including

===Army personnel serving after January 1921===
Some years ago the Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section held Army Service records for officers whose service ended after April 1922 and soldiers whose service ended after January 1921. (Note, some documentation has been seen which gives the holding ''from'' April 1922, and ''from'' January 1921, respectively.) This has gradually changed, see the following updates.

Foot Guards Regiments service records are a separate category and all, (including pre 1921 records), were moved from regimental archives to the Ministry of Defence, August 2017-May 2018, except for Scots Guards service records, which remain in the regimental archives. (Pre 1921 Scots Guards service records are thought to eventually be going to National Records of Scotland, in Edinburgh).

== Conditions and activities==
=== Enlistment term===
From the end of the Napoleonic Wars until 1847, men were enlisted for twenty-one years, practically for life. From 1847 enlistment was for ten years, later increased to twelve; with a pension after twenty one years for extended service. From 1870, as part of the Caldwell Reforms, “short service” was introduced, where men enlisted for a period of time in the Army, the balance of time in the reserves (total twelve years). The standard term varied over time, including six and six, seven and five, three and nine, nine and three years, <ref> grumpy.

===Wives and families travelling to India===
For soldiers deployed from Britain to overseas garrisons only a proportion of men were allowed to be accompanied by their wives. For most countries the proportion was six wives per one hundred soldiers. However for India, and Australia, the ratio was twelve wives per one hundred men, including NCOs. The number of children was unlimited.<ref>Fuller, Tony [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031010929/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=12906952 Women on ships – again] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 11 August 2000, archived. (The author was researching at the Tower Hamlets Library).</ref> These wives and children were provided with food, accomodation and transportation by the Army and were classified as "on the strength".

==Allen's Indian Mail==
The [http://fibis.ourarchives.online/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=791&s_id=103 FIBIS database] contains transcriptions of birth, marriage and death notices from ''Allen's Indian Mail''.

The title initially, in 1843 and 1844, was ''The Indian Mail''. The title from 1845 was ''Allen's Indian Mail'' which was subsequently designated Volume 3. This publication continued until 6 May 1891, when it was incorporated into ''The Homeward Mail from India, China and the East'', [[Newspapers and journals online#Homeward Mail from India, China and the East|see below]].

Where there are two volumes in a year, the index is generally at the front of the first volume, although there is no index for 1860, 1862, 1868 (missing volume), 1872 and 1882. The volume for January 1872 contains an index, but it is actually in respect of the year 1871.

Many editions of ''Allen's Indian Mail'' are available on the pay websites Findmypast and British Newspaper Archive (added 27 October 2025), [https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/allens-indian-mail catalogue entry] for the latter website.

==Calcutta Gazette==
The ''Calcutta Gazette'' became one of the official newspapers of the Government of India and its provincial governments, where official information was ‘gazetted’. It was first published 4 March 1784 as a newspaper titled ''The Calcutta Gazette and Oriental Advertiser''; from September 1791 to May 1815 titled ''The Calcutta Gazette''; June 1815 to March 1832 titled ''The Government Gazette''; from April 1832 resumed the title ''The Calcutta Gazette''. Initially the Government was not connected with the management or editorial policy of the newspaper, but used the newspaper as a medium for official notices etc. From April 1832, the publication ceased to be a newspaper, and became an official Government publication.

==Englishman's Overland Mail==
''The Englishman's Overland Mail'' printed in Calcutta,
"Published for Transmission to England" was first published on the 9 January 1864. The title changed in 1891 to ''The Englishman''. Publication ceased 1928.<ref>[https://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2020/04/06/new-titles-6-april-2020/ Hot Off The Press – New Titles This Week] April 6, 2020 The British Newspaper Archive Blog (Scroll down)</ref>. ''Englishman's Weekly Journal'' and
''Englishman's Saturday Evening Journal'' also came
from the same publisher, and it seems likely these titles were sold in Calcutta for local readers on the same dates as ''Englishman's Overland Mail'', but may have had additional or different content.

(There are references to earlier titles ''The Englishman and military chronicle'' (Began with July 2, 1835 issue; ceased with Dec. 31, 1860 issue, published Calcutta according to Library of Congress catalogue entry, but possibly earlier?) and ''Englishman'' (Calcutta, India : 1861).

====Rootsweb INDIA====
The most popular list for those researching family history in India was the India List, commenced in 1997 and most recently hosted by Rootsweb, part of Ancestry.
 There was a vast amount of information stored in the archives, but with many changes over the years, and the introduction of the last website, some information may have not been transferred.

====Rootsweb INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ====
According to its website the India- British- Raj List was:
 A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in the period of British rule of most of the Indian subcontinent (present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and Myanmar (Burma)) which lasted from 1858, when the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to the Crown, until 1947, when the independence of British India was granted and Pakistan was formed.

===New Email Group/List===
The Rootsweb India- British- Raj List has migrated to a new platform at groups.io and is now called [https://groups.io/g/india-british-raj India British Raj History] which states
 "This group is for anyone who is interested in all things belonging to the period of time known as that of The British Raj. In addition to studying and enjoying the cultural aspects of that period of time (roughly from 1600 to 1950 A.D.), we will also help those interested in the tracing of British and European Ancestors in British India"

A very useful resource for locating ancestors buried in South Asia is the [[British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia]] (BACSA). This organisation is dedicated to preserving European cemeteries in the region and has completed many projects to preserve cemeteries. It has many records in its archive at the British Library. In addition, BACSA publishes many useful books on the subject of South Asia, including complete transcriptions of all the monuments in many cemeteries.

===CWGC===
If your ancestors died during the [[First World War|First]], or [[Second World War]] whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (for the six member counties Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but also including some other Commonwealth forces), then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are scattered throughout Asia (and other parts of the world) and are beautifully maintained. The dates covered for commemoration on the CWGC website are 4 August 1914 to 31 August 1921 and 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1947. There were some additional military burials in cemeteries maintained by the CWGC, outside these dates, which are also maintained, but the names will not be included in the database on the website.<ref>charlie2 [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/248694-a-cwgc-anomaly/?do=findComment&comment=2506866 A CWGC anomaly] ''Great War Forum'' 22 March 2017.

==Organisations==
===BACSA===
A very useful resource for locating ancestors buried in South Asia is the [[British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia]] (BACSA). This organisation is dedicated to preserving European cemeteries in the region and has completed many projects to preserve cemeteries. It has many records in its archive at the British Library. In addition, BACSA publishes many useful books on the subject of South Asia, including complete transcriptions of all the monuments in many cemeteries. To view the Cemetery Record books currently available, and also those out of print, go to [https://www.bacsa.org.uk/product-category/cemetery-record-books/ Cemetery Record Books]. Also see [[Cemeteries and monumental inscriptions reading list]].

For online editions of the BACSA Journal ''Chowkidar'', refer [[Cemeteries#Other external links|Other external links]], below.

===Indian-cemeteries.org===
*[https://web.archive.org/web/20180420185643/http://www.indian-cemeteries.org:80/ Indian-cemeteries.org] has hundreds of transcribed memorials from cemeteries all over India. This website is now archived, however most of the internal information still appears to be accessible.

===CWGC===
If your ancestors died during the [[First World War|First]], or [[Second World War]] whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (for the six member counties Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but also including some other Commonwealth forces), then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

==Organisations==
===BACSA===
A very useful resource for locating ancestors buried in South Asia is the [[British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia]] (BACSA). This organisation is dedicated to preserving European cemeteries in the region and has completed many projects to preserve cemeteries. It has many records in its archive at the British Library. In addition, BACSA publishes many useful books on the subject of South Asia, including complete transcriptions of all the monuments in many cemeteries. To view the Cemetery Record books currently available, and also those out of print, go to [https://www.bacsa.org.uk/product-category/cemetery-record-books/ Cemetery Record Books].

===CWGC===
If your ancestors died during the [[First World War|First]], or [[Second World War]] whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (for the six member counties Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but also including some other Commonwealth forces), then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are scattered throughout Asia (and other parts of the world) and are beautifully maintained. The dates covered for commemoration on the CWGC website are 4 August 1914 to 31 August 1921 and 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1947. There were some additional military burials in cemeteries maintained by the CWGC, outside these dates, which are also maintained, but the names will not be included in the database on the website.<ref>charlie2 [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/248694-a-cwgc-anomaly/?do=findComment&comment=2506866 A CWGC anomaly] ''Great War Forum'' 22 March 2017.

Includes southern '''Borneo'''. (For the former British North Borneo, see [[Malaysia]]).

Indonesia was formerly known as the Dutch East Indies, and was generally under Dutch control.

However the East India Company had some involvement as [[Bencoolen]] on the southside of the island of Sumatra, was occupied by the East India Company from 1685 to 1825, when it was exchanged with the Dutch for Malacca which was more strategically useful.

In 1811, the island of Java was captured by the Madras Army of the East india Company, see [[Java Expedition]] and Sir Stamford Raffles was appointed as the island's Governor. In 1814, Java was returned to the Dutch under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, but the British retained at least some control until 1816.

[[Image:Trichinopoli&Ceylon.jpg|thumb|250px|Ceylon, to the South East of [[Madras Presidency]]]]
'''Ceylon''', a large island and British colony in the Indian Ocean, separated on the N.W. from India by the Gulf of Manaar and Palk Strait. It lies between 5° 55' and 9° 51' N. and between 79° 41' and 81° 54' E. Its extreme length from north to south is 271.5 miles (approx. 445 km); its greatest width is 137.5 m. (approx. 225 km); and its area amounts to 25,481 sq. miles, or about five-sixths of that of Ireland. In its general outline the island resembles a pear, the apex of which points towards the north.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabrit05chisrich#page/778/mode/1up "Ceylon"] page 778 ''The Encyclopaedia Britannica'', Volume V, 11th edition 1910. Archive.org.</ref> The island is now called '''Sri Lanka'''.
== History ==
The [[Portuguese]] arrived in the early 16th century, followed by the [[Dutch]] in the 17th Century with the British, as usual, arriving late - 1796 - when the British [[East India Company]] established control. In 1802 Ceylon became a British Crown Colony. The island was unified in 1815 (previously there had been three kingdoms) and the island finally gained its independence in 1948.

====Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps====
The '''Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps''' was a Volunteer Corps established in 1861. Initially the movement consisted of the Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers but by the 1900s also had Artillery, Medical, Engineers and Supply and Transport units.

The CPRC sent a contingent to South Africa in 1902 along with a detachment of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry. In 1910 the force became known as the Ceylon Defence Force.

A Corps of 150 ‘fine young Englishmen’ left Ceylon in 1914, comprised not only of planters but also Government servants, Colombo businessmen and others. They served in Egypt and were then attached to the Wellington infantry Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the ANZAC division at Gallipoli. The high standard of the men led to virtually all of them receiving commissions and they went on to serve in other regiments which meant this Corps then ceased to exist. <ref> ''Great War Forum'' thread [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/943-ceylon-planters-rifle-corps/ Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps] (retrieved 19 January 2019).</ref>

A number of men who were members of the Ceylon Volunteer Force, who were in Britain at the outbreak of WW1 were granted commissions by the War Office in the late-Summer/Autumn of 1914. Many went into the [[Rifle Brigade]]. These men, almost all of whom were involved in the plantation section, were sometimes referred to as Ceylon's "Home Contingent", to distinguish them from the "Ceylon Contingent",<ref> Dominion-of-the-North [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/191395-war-diary-8th-rifle-brigade-post-may-1918-does-it-exist/?do=findComment&comment=1877338 War Diary: 8th Rifle Brigade; Post-May 1918; Does it Exist?] ''Great War Forum'' 10 March , 2013.

== Records ==
*Except for the few short years when the East India Company was in control (1796-1802) records for Ceylon will not be found in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]], but at [[The National Archives]] at Kew. For example.
**Description and succession books of the Ceylon Rifles covering years 1809-1872 are held under reference W025/638-641 (these include officers services) Free digital download at March 2021.
**Reference WO23/158 includes the admission books for the Ceylon Rifles and Gun Lascars for the period May 1868-Sept 1876.
**Personal data may also be held amongst the National Archive's Administrative Records of [[Ceylon]] (Sri Lanka).
:Records for 1796-1802 perhaps may be located in Madras records. As an example, there is one marriage record for 1798 at Colombo on page 102, ''Marriages at Fort St. George, Madras'' by F. E. P., (very likely Fanny Emily Penny), published 1907, see [[Madras (City)]].
*''The Ceylon Civil List''. The title of some editions includes the wording ''showing the names and designations of the civil, military and other servants of government ...''. Available at the [[British Library]] UIN: BLL01000649015 where the catalogue record states "... 1863 (1870-1876, 1878, 1879, 1881 [etc.]). Prepared in the Colonial Secretary's Office. Imperfect; wanting the issues for 1864-1869, 1877, 1880. Not published in 1938, when its place was taken by “Civil Establishments,” pt. 1."

'''Ceylon''', a large island and British colony in the Indian Ocean, separated on the N.W. from India by the Gulf of Manaar and Palk Strait. It lies between 5° 55' and 9° 51' N. and between 79° 41' and 81° 54' E. Its extreme length from north to south is 271.5 miles (approx. 445 km); its greatest width is 137.5 m. (approx. 225 km); and its area amounts to 25,481 sq. miles, or about five-sixths of that of Ireland. In its general outline the island resembles a pear, the apex of which points towards the north.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabrit05chisrich#page/778/mode/1up "Ceylon"] page 778 ''The Encyclopaedia Britannica'', Volume V, 11th edition 1910. Archive.org.</ref> The island is now called '''Sri Lanka'''.
== History ==
The [[Portuguese]] arrived in the early 16th century, followed by the [[Dutch]] in the 17th Century with the British, as usual, arriving late - 1796 - when the British [[East India Company]] established control. In 1802 Ceylon became a British Crown Colony. The island was unified in 1815 (previously there had been three kingdoms) and the island finally gained its independence in 1948.

====Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps====
The '''Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps''' was a Volunteer Corps established in 1861. Initially the movement consisted of the Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers but by the 1900s also had Artillery, Medical, Engineers and Supply and Transport units.

The CPRC sent a contingent to South Africa in 1902 along with a detachment of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry. In 1910 the force became known as the Ceylon Defence Force.

A Corps of 150 ‘fine young Englishmen’ left Ceylon in 1914, comprised not only of planters but also Government servants, Colombo businessmen and others. They served in Egypt and were then attached to the Wellington infantry Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the ANZAC division at Gallipoli. The high standard of the men led to virtually all of them receiving commissions and they went on to serve in other regiments which meant this Corps then ceased to exist. <ref> ''Great War Forum'' thread [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/943-ceylon-planters-rifle-corps/ Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps] (retrieved 19 January 2019).</ref>

A number of men who were members of the Ceylon Volunteer Force, who were in Britain at the outbreak of WW1 were granted commissions by the War Office in the late-Summer/Autumn of 1914. Many went into the [[Rifle Brigade]]. These men, almost all of whom were involved in the plantation section, were sometimes referred to as Ceylon's "Home Contingent", to distinguish them from the "Ceylon Contingent",<ref> Dominion-of-the-North [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/191395-war-diary-8th-rifle-brigade-post-may-1918-does-it-exist/?do=findComment&comment=1877338 War Diary: 8th Rifle Brigade; Post-May 1918; Does it Exist?] ''Great War Forum'' 10 March , 2013.

== Records ==
*Except for the few short years when the East India Company was in control (1796-1802) records for Ceylon will not be found in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]], but at [[The National Archives]] at Kew. For example.
**Description and succession books of the Ceylon Rifles covering years 1809-1872 are held under reference W025/638-641 (these include officers services) Free digital download at March 2021.
**Reference WO23/158 includes the admission books for the Ceylon Rifles and Gun Lascars for the period May 1868-Sept 1876.
**Personal data may also be held amongst the National Archive's Administrative Records of [[Ceylon]] (Sri Lanka).
:Records for 1796-1802 perhaps may be located in Madras records. As an example, there is one marriage record for 1798 at Colombo on page 102, ''Marriages at Fort St. George, Madras'' by F. E. P., (very likely Fanny Emily Penny), published 1907, see [[Madras (City)]].
*''The Ceylon Civil List''. The title of some editions includes the wording ''showing the names and designations of the civil, military and other servants of government ...''. Available at the [[British Library]] UIN: BLL01000649015 where the catalogue record states "... 1863 (1870-1876, 1878, 1879, 1881 [etc.]). Prepared in the Colonial Secretary's Office. Imperfect; wanting the issues for 1864-1869, 1877, 1880. Not published in 1938, when its place was taken by “Civil Establishments,” pt. 1." Also available at the Library of Oxford University, where the holding, over 2 catalogue entries, is 1899-1948, but missing 1901; 1952-1962.

'''Ceylon''', a large island and British colony in the Indian Ocean, separated on the N.W. from India by the Gulf of Manaar and Palk Strait. It lies between 5° 55' and 9° 51' N. and between 79° 41' and 81° 54' E. Its extreme length from north to south is 271.5 miles (approx. 445 km); its greatest width is 137.5 m. (approx. 225 km); and its area amounts to 25,481 sq. miles, or about five-sixths of that of Ireland. In its general outline the island resembles a pear, the apex of which points towards the north.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabrit05chisrich#page/778/mode/1up "Ceylon"] page 778 ''The Encyclopaedia Britannica'', Volume V, 11th edition 1910. Archive.org.</ref> The island is now called '''Sri Lanka'''.
== History ==
The [[Portuguese]] arrived in the early 16th century, followed by the [[Dutch]] in the 17th Century with the British, as usual, arriving late - 1796 - when the British [[East India Company]] established control. In 1802 Ceylon became a British Crown Colony. The island was unified in 1815 (previously there had been three kingdoms) and the island finally gained its independence in 1948.

====Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps====
The '''Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps''' was a Volunteer Corps established in 1861. Initially the movement consisted of the Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers but by the 1900s also had Artillery, Medical, Engineers and Supply and Transport units.

The CPRC sent a contingent to South Africa in 1902 along with a detachment of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry. In 1910 the force became known as the Ceylon Defence Force.

A Corps of 150 ‘fine young Englishmen’ left Ceylon in 1914, comprised not only of planters but also Government servants, Colombo businessmen and others. They served in Egypt and were then attached to the Wellington infantry Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the ANZAC division at Gallipoli. The high standard of the men led to virtually all of them receiving commissions and they went on to serve in other regiments which meant this Corps then ceased to exist. <ref> ''Great War Forum'' thread [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/943-ceylon-planters-rifle-corps/ Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps] (retrieved 19 January 2019).</ref>

A number of men who were members of the Ceylon Volunteer Force, who were in Britain at the outbreak of WW1 were granted commissions by the War Office in the late-Summer/Autumn of 1914. Many went into the [[Rifle Brigade]]. These men, almost all of whom were involved in the plantation section, were sometimes referred to as Ceylon's "Home Contingent", to distinguish them from the "Ceylon Contingent",<ref> Dominion-of-the-North [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/191395-war-diary-8th-rifle-brigade-post-may-1918-does-it-exist/?do=findComment&comment=1877338 War Diary: 8th Rifle Brigade; Post-May 1918; Does it Exist?] ''Great War Forum'' 10 March , 2013.

== Records ==
*Except for the few short years when the East India Company was in control (1796-1802) records for Ceylon will not be found in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]], but at [[The National Archives]] at Kew. For example.
**Description and succession books of the Ceylon Rifles covering years 1809-1872 are held under reference W025/638-641 (these include officers services) Free digital download at March 2021.
