*First page only of [http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03071846809422315?journalCode=rusi19 "Armoured Trains in British India"] by Colonel A. A. Phillips C.I.E., V.D ''Royal United Services Institution. Journal Volume 113, Issue 651, 1968'' pages 254-257. In 1912 the author joined the 1st Battalion of the North-Western Railway Regiment, which then had an armoured train in Lahore. The 2nd Battalion at Karachi also had one. There is mention of the armoured train crew from the Regiment sent to East Africa during the [[First World War]]. They operated until the railway lines were safe from German attacks and then manned a tug on one of the Great Lakes.
**Also see [[Punjab Rifles]] for the 1919 photograph of an armoured train which seems likely to be the same armoured train mentioned above.
