bushfighter Posted 12 June , 2015 Author Share Posted 12 June , 2015 SOWARS AND SEPOYS IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Cavalry and Infantry Regiments Initially I wondered if I really needed this book and was it worth the cost, but I have come to use it much more frequently than I thought that I would. It is a very good quick reference as to where Indian Army regiments and battalions served during the Great War, including the battalions formed during the war who were later disbanded without any formal historical information being recorded. I recommend the book. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 27 June , 2015 Share Posted 27 June , 2015 Having read Harry's comments and the reviews in Durbar and other places, I e-mailed Ashok on the e-mail address given by Harry, and have just completed a bank transfer for £75 plus P&P from Sweden (and extra £18).

Steven Broomfield Posted 4 July , 2015 Share Posted 4 July , 2015 My copy (No. 102 of 300) arrived this morning. Actually, it arrived on Thursday morning, but I had to collect it as the postie couldn't deliver it. It looks, feels and smells superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
