<br>''India’s Army'' by Major D. Jackson 1940 contains a "potted history" of every Regiment & Corps (including the auxiliary & princely state forces). With 70 chapters, over 100 B & W photos & illustrations, 14 full Colour plates.
===National Archives of India===Indian armed forces personnel records are held at the National Archives of India according to this [http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/familyhistory/next_steps/researchplaces_01.shtml BBC link], with the contact email address given as: <nowiki>archives@nic.in</nowiki> "I enquired at the National Archives in Delhi and received 150 pages of my grandfather's service record. An enquiry doesn't cost any money until they copy documents for you. The process is slow but well worth the wait". From a WW2Talk Forum thread [http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/18823-british-indian-army-records-where-are-they/?p=360157 British Indian Army records - where are they?] by D. Fielder dated 14 April 2011 ===British Army records after January 1921/April 1922===If you are looking records for British personnel who served in the Indian Army , either officers whose service ended after April 1922 or soldiers whose service ended after January 1921, and there is no record in the series "Indian Army Records of Service IOR/L/MIL/14/239/1-72481", or at the National Archives of India, (refer abovefor both these sources), you could try contacting the Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section, whose details are set out in the article [[British Army#Army personnel serving after January 1921|British Army-Army personnel serving after January 1921]]. This is not a confirmed source, but some other British Army records include British officers from the Indian Army
