Timbob1001 Posted 5 September , 2014 Share Posted 5 September , 2014 Anyone have any more information on the Anglo-Indian Force? (infantry, artillery and cavalry) I have two groups in my small collection of medals and am trying to find out more. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 7 September , 2014 Share Posted 7 September , 2014 Tim, The FIBIS Fibiwiki page First World War, section Anglo-Indians, has a few paragraphs, including footnotes. One of the footnotes refers to the publication The Anglo-Indian Force (Allahabad, 1918) by C T Robbie, a copy of which is available at the British Library, in the India Office Records http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/First_World_War#Anglo-Indians Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
