Remembered Today:

Divisional Areas

All

With alot of help from Maureen I have been plodding my way through the history of the Lahore Divisional Area. I had always believed that these areas were divisible from each other and that they had a prescribed area of responsibility however I am starting to see detachments from other Divisions / Bdes popping up in stations / garrisons I believed todate were wholely the responsibility of the Lahore Divisional Area. First thought was that I had missed the posting of battalions to the division but this not the case and parent HQ's and remaining Coys remained with the original divisions.

How did this work ? Can anyone shed any light ?

Dave, perhaps there were transfers on an “as required” basis.

A 1928 map called “India: Railways and Cantonments” shows there is a defined area for each Command, and Division within that Command.

If these both aren’t accessible try Googling “India: Railways and Cantonments" 1928
