Please note that some years do not contain information relating to the [[Royal Artillery]].
Although there does not appear to be any information relating to British troops in India after 1904 in the Nafziger Collection documents, there is '''information available prior to 1862'''. There is a [http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll11/id/1277/rec/3 Finding Aid] (link to a pdf download which depending on your browser you may need to locate in your downloads folder), (or see External links below) to assist in navigating the titles available for viewing, and the links to those titles.
The Finding Aid is Searchable. There are title headings such as ''Stations of British Troops in India'' (available 1836-1904), ''British Regiments Serving in India'', (available 1816-1835), ''Distribution of the British Army'' (available 1836-1868, 1872, 1899-1903) ''Stations of the British Army'' (available 1869-1904). The latter two titles include British troops in India.
