There are India Office records in the British Library, reference [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-2#1-2 '''IOR L/MIL/14''']. The records include Indian Army Records of Service [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-2-13#1-2-13 '''IOR/L/MIL/14/239/1-72481'''] c 1901-1947. Note this reference is incorrect and should be '''IOR/L/MIL/14/239-72481''' It appears unlikely that these records contain men who in the Volunteer or [[Auxiliary Regiments]]. The closure period for these files has been set at 75 years from the date of entry of the serviceman/woman into the service. The files are opened on an annual basis. On 1 January 2010, files relating to persons joining the service in 1934 were opened. A complete alphabetical index to the opened files is now available on open access in the Asian & African Studies Reading Room at the [[British Library]] or it can be searched by name on [http://searcharchives.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=IAMS_VU2 British Library archive search]. '''Note''': The search facility may only locate names where there is an open file. The highest numbered file located in a "trial and error" search (at 5 August 2013) was IOR/L/MIL/14/60650
