Volumes are from the Hathi Trust Digital Library, the Archive.org website,with others from Google Books, and the website of the National Library of Scotland. The title of this commercial publication varied over time: 1840-1853, ''The New Annual See Fibiwiki page [[Army List''. 1854-1869, ''The New Annual for British Army List, and Militia List'online#'. 1870-1880, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Indian Civil Service List''. 1881-1893, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List''. 1894-1901, ''The New Annual Army List, Militia List, and Yeomanry Cavalry List''. 1902-1903, ''Hart's Annual Army List, Militia List, and Yeomanry Cavalry List''. 1904-1908, ''Hart's Annual Army List, Militia List, and Imperial Yeomanry List''. 1909-1915 ''Hart's Annual | Army List, Special Reserve List and Territorial Force List''. By 1881, the [http://www.archive.org/stream/newannualarmylis1881lond#page/n11/mode/2up Table of Contents] had become more detailed, and it is easier to see the sections which may be relevant for India. In additional to details about the Bengal, Madras and Bombay Armies, which also include Medical Department, Veterinary Department and Ecclesiastical Department details, sections such as Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers and Staff Abroad also contain information about officers in India. From 1904 the title page stated "Containing dates of commissions, and a summary of the war services of nearly every officer in the Army, Supply &c. Departments, Marine and Indian British Army, and Indian local forces." Some editions also contain Indian Civil Service Lists, refer [[Directories online#India List and India Office List| Directories online-India List and India Office List]] for a separate list. The earlier editions, approximately prior to the early 1860s contain less information relevant to India. Editions from the early 1860s to 1880 contain information which may not be indexed. There were also official publications by the War Office, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.(HMSO). Sources.*Online [http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Anlsarmylists&sort=-publicdate Army Lists], from a broken range of dates from 1840 are available at [http://archive.org/details/nationallibraryofscotland National Library of Scotland on Archive.org].
