Line 1: Line 1:
This is what "Ian A Baxter" says in his "A Brief Guide to Biographical
[[Category:Top level]]
Sources" under the heading:-
"Departmental and Warrant Officers of The East India Company’s Armies 1708
1861, and the Indian Army 1861 1947"
 
"Warrant officers in the Company’s armies held the ranks of Sub Conductor
and Conductor, serving mainly in the Ordnance, Commissariat and Public Works
Departments. They were recruited from the Town Major’s List (called
Effective Supernumeraries in Madras) which in turn was largely recruited
from the NCOs of the Company’s European regiments (see p 9) although
occasionally NCOs of British regiments stationed in India were appointed to
it.
In 1859 the Town Major’s List became the Unattached List, and when the
Company’s European regiments were amalgamated with the British Army in 1860
new recruits to the Unattached List were appointed solely from NCOs of
British regiments stationed in India.
Conductors were eligible for promotion to Departmental Officer, ie Deputy
Assistant Commissary, Assistant Commissary etc, and these grades were
eventually given complementary honorary officer ranks ranging from Honorary
Lieutenant to Honorary Major."
