Some of the soldiers who served in the Garrison Battalions in India served on the North West Frontier in Afghanistan in 1919, in the [[3rd Afghan War]], almost certainly along the lines of communication.<ref>Frogsmile .

Very little has been written about the Garrison Battalions of World War I in post-war regimental histories. Battalions were disbanded within days of returning from service overseas and their four or five year existence was apparently regarded as of little consequence in regimental history.

Some regiments fighting in [[Mesopotamia Campaign|Mesopotamia]] appear to have had Depots in India. As an example the 2nd Battalion, [[9th Regiment of Foot|Norfolk Regiment]] appears to have had soldiers in India, although generally it is stated this Battalion was in Mesopotamia.
