India Expeditionary Force A

[Guest]

Hi all, 

 

I was hoping someone could help me with information on the transport of India Expeditionary Force A to Marseille. Specifically dates and route of transport (and any other addiitonal details) between Karachi and Bombay to Marseille, and then the same for Marseille to Ypres. Any other details appreciated

 

Cheers.

There is some information, but possibly not the detail you require, in

Welcome to the Forum IIDKev

War Diaries of individual units cover this in some detail- depending somewhat on the Diarist. Also embarkation from India if you are lucky; Do you have a particular unit in mind ?

Many individual regimental histories will mention this; sometimes in some detail.
