It seems likely that the names of the medal recipients for the Indian Volunteer Forces Officers’ Decoration were gazetted in the ''Gazette of India'', as they do not appear to be in the ''London Gazette''. Some volumes of the ''Gazette of India'' are available online, refer [[Newspapers and journals online]]. At least some names of the Volunteer Force Long Service Medal recipients were published in Indian Army Orders, some of which are available online, refer [[Military periodicals online#Indian Army Orders/Instructions|Military periodicals online - Indian Army Orders/Instructions]].
In January 2016, [[findmypast]] introduced the dataset "British Army, Indian Volunteer Force Medal Awards 1915-1939", now incorporated into the larger dataset "Britain, Campaign, Gallantry & Long Service Medals & Awards", located under Armed forces & conflict/Medal rolls and honours. The information for each transcript was extracted from the ''Indian Army Orders'' by Kevin Asplin. This dataset appears to inaccurately titled, as it relates to the Indian Army.
