The '''Unattached List''' recorded Warrant Officers ([[Conductors]] and Sub- Conductors) and Non-Commissioned Officers (mainly Sergeants) who were not attached to a regiment. This mainly covered soldiers working for the [[Ordnance]], [[Commissariat]] and [[Public Works Department]]s. Before 1859 this list was known as the '''Town Major's List''' in Bengal/Bombay and '''Effective Supernumeraries''' in Madras. ==Sergeants’ Occupations== The following list provides examples of the variety of occupations which a sergeant could be employed in Many of these positions were of significant importance and standing and the chance to attain them was one of the attractions of joining the Company's army rather than the King's/Queen's army.<ref>Most of the information in this section comes from this India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2000-04/0954667043 April 2000 post] by Peter Bailey </ref>*Arrack Godown Sergeant (arrack or arak, a coarse spirit distilled from grain, rice, sugar cane etc; godown, a warehouse)*Barrack Sergeant*Bazar (or Bazaar) Sergeant*Bullock Sergeant.
