British Somaliland (or more fully, British Somaliland Protectorate) was a British protectorate in present-day northwestern Somalia, established in 1888.

Between 1888 and 1898, it was administered by India, through an Indian Political Officer at Aden called “The Political Resident for the Somali Coast”, assisted by residents at Zaila, Bulhar and Berbera.[1] Troops from Aden, part of the Indian Army, (Bombay Army) were garrisoned there. It appears that even prior to 1888, the Indian Government had representatives in Somaliland, see Historical books online below.

British Somaliland was then administered by the British Foreign Office until 1905 and afterwards by the Colonial Office. It appears however, that at least some officers from the Indian Army , and to a lesser extent Indian Army soldiers, continued to be posted there.
