The British Indian Army was administered by the India Office and its historic records are held by the British Library. Although The National Archives does not hold service records relating to personnel from the British Indian Army, it does hold some records relating to casualties and decorations (TNA Series WO 429, WO 430, WO 432, WO 433).
