Unlike the published List, these cards hold the details of not just officers of the Bengal Army, but also those of the Bombay Army and Madras Army and include Civil Servants, Officers of Eastindiamen, Chaplains & other clergy. The list went on to include a good many people from the post East India Company period up to and including serving officers of the Second World War.
