Regarding the Bombay Volunteer Rifles (redesignated the Bombay Battalion, Indian Defence Force in 1917) -

 

How many companies existed and how were they titled?

 

Where were the companies stationed?

Many thanks for fishing these out for me - very useful research paths indeed.

 

I didn't realise this organisation was so large.
