Revision as of 08:04, 20 March 2015

The Madras Army was one of the East India Company Armies. Its origins lie in the raising of the first troops at Fort St George which was constructed in 1640 to defend Madras.

Divisions

Madras Regiments

A list of Madras Army regiments, alphabetically by type, can be found in the main article Madras Army Regiments.

Records

British Library

Other records available in the British Library India Office holdings include:
Please note that the Registers of Madras Army European Soldiers IOR/L/MIL/11/101-108 1786-1860 commenced in 1831 and only contain men still serving in the Army at that date. If a man left the Army prior to 1831 for any reason, including death, he will not appear in these records. The Muster records are an alternative source of information.
The LDS (Mormons) have filmed many of these records. Search the Microfilm catalogue by entering keywords such as Madras Army. In particular, “Registers of Madras Army European soldiers, 1786-1860” and “Madras army muster, quarterly, annual and casualty rolls, 1762-1907” are available. (Ordering microfilms).
