==Information sheets==Refer [[National Army Museum#External links|External links]] below ==Presidency army officers===This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2004-04/1081372895 thread] There is about a card index at the National Army Museum, prepared by Major V.C.P.Hodson (who published ''Hodson’s List of Officers of the Bengal Army'')<ref>India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2004-04/1081372895 thread] </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.

For many years there was no mention on the National Army Museum’s website regarding these index cards and they were not publicised. However they are now mentioned in the NAM’s guide [http://www.national-army-museum.ac.uk/oldResearch/files/tscInfo1.pdf " Information Sheet No 1: Researching soldiers of the East India Company’s Armies and the Indian Army]", refer below.
