→Records
*Service records, should they still exist, would be found in African archives. Researchers have found emails to such archives have not been answered. For practical purposes, any potential service records appear unaccessable, unless perhaps you are personally able to visit the relevant African country. There is no information known about holdings, but any records which survive are likely to relate to later, rather than earlier periods.
*For missing or POW soldiers, see the relevant section on the page [[British Army]], including [[British Army#WW1 British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry Lists For Wounded And Missing|British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry Lists For Wounded And Missing]]
* The British Library holds the book ''The Swift Directory of British East Africa, Uganda, and Zanzibar ...'' [1915] published Calcutta : Thacker, Spink & Co. UIN: BLL01000944752 . There is reference elsewhere to a 1912 edition. It is possible this book may be similar in format to ''Thacker's Indian Directory''.
