If your ancestor served in the [[British Army]] or the Honorable [[East India Company Army]], (HEIC Army) then you may find his military records very useful in providing details of his life and history. More details are given on the pages just mentioned. Until 1859, the two armies were entirely seperate separate and their records were stored seperatelyseparately. The HEIC Army was abolished in 1859, and its regiments were subsumed into the British Army.
See [[List of HM Regiments]] for British Army regiments that served in India and some information about them.
