Retrieved 14 September 2019, archived.</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.
There are also some card indexes/papers prepared by Lt Col H K Percy Smith (1897-1975) who also prepared the Percy Smith card index collection at the [[Society of Genealogists]]
