Changes

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

*''Indian Army List'' [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_3-1&cid=1-1-1-1#1-1-1-1 '''IOR/L/MIL/17/5/1-219'''] 1889-1947 These are readily available on the open shelves. War Services are a particularly valuable feature of the List and the volumes in which they appear or with which they were issued separately are marked within the link with an asterisk. After 1892 the war services of Indian Officers are included in January issues only. A few editions have been reprinted. See [[Indian Army#Other|below]].

*Pay to view British Pathe Film, [http://www.britishpathe.com/video/good-news-from-china/query/good+news+from+china Good News From China 1927], an indication that Indian troops were leaving China in 1927 "owing to marked improvement of situation in Shanghai."
