==1911 England and Wales Census==
This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11339188?v=r National Archives catalogue entry] shows the regiments in India which were included in the 1911 Census. The items (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. It appears that there were additional regiments in India at the time which are not included in the list, so the census is not complete for British Army regiments, or British Army personnel in India.
