The National Army Museum (NAM) in Chelsea has a library relating to general Army/regimental histories (requiring a reader's ticket). British Army musters, attestation papers, pension records and records of officer's services are not kept here but at The National Archives.

Presidency army officers

This India List thread 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). 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 there is no mention on the National Army Museum’s website regarding these index cards and they are not publicised.
