Cook. [https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/india.rootsweb.com/thread/7730512/ The Hodson Index] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 7 April 2004 and EM Neil. [https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/india.rootsweb.com/thread/7730777 National Army Museum and Hodson's Index] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 19 April 2004. Retrieved 14 September 2019.</ref>. Unlike the published List, these cards hold the details of not just officers of the [[Bengal Army]], but also those of the [[Bombay Army]] and [[Madras Army]] and include Civil Servants, Officers of Eastindiamen, Chaplains & other clergy. The list went on to include a good many people from the post [[East India Company]] period up to and including serving officers of the Second World War.

Note that For many years there is was no mention on the National Army Museum’s website regarding these index cards and they were not publicised. However they were for a time mentioned in the NAM’s now archived guide "Information Sheet No 1: Researching soldiers of the East India Company’s Armies and the Indian Army", refer below, but do not appear to be currently mentioned anywhere. ==British Army==For guides written by the NAM, about records generally , including those available elsehere, refer [[British Army#Other sources|British Army Records-Other sources]].  ===Soldiers’ effects records===These records relate to monies paid to the named relatives of deceased soldiers and those discharged insane.
