Indian Army List online
This page is an attachment to Directories online and Military periodicals online
Search the British Library Archives and Manuscripts for a catalogue entry for Indian Army List (1889-1947) 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.
Currently (2024 December) the British Library Archives catalogue is not available, so the following details are given in respect of the War Services editions[1]
- 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 Lists 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.
