Simon_Fielding Posted 13 January , 2003 Share Posted 13 January , 2003 I've never researched anything on the Indian Army before. Does anyone know what I can access on this officer in the UK? Would his papers be at the PRO or are they 'India Office' documents? Is there much web based material?

Matthew B. Posted 18 August , 2005 Share Posted 18 August , 2005 Simon, Sorry no-one ever replied to this. However the answers are not good. 1) Any papers would be at the British Library not NA. 2) I expect you will find virtually zilch. They have some ledgers of IARO officers which may mention what he was doing before he was comissioned but at best a couple of lines. He would not have any surviving 'officers papers' as you may find the NA. Sorry, Matthew B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbks Posted 4 August , 2012 Share Posted 4 August , 2012 Simon, I'm researching a man who was a sergeant with the Supply & Transport Corps, enlisted in Rawalpindi. His record is available on ancestry.co.uk so it's maybe worth you looking there for a record. You could also make sure FIBIS doesn't have any information on their database (www.fibis.org).

chops Posted 6 August , 2012 Share Posted 6 August , 2012 Simon, Isee, from another online site, that you have amassed a fair amount of biographical detail on MJR. STANLEY-BAKER. I have nothing to add to your latest posting but I did see the basic details of his will listed on ANCESTRY. He worked before the War in the INDIAN PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. BURMA. His effects amounted to £5127 12s. 9d. Did you receive my last email covering the Bewdley War Memorial? Regards, corona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
