Description
Description available at other catalogue level
Arrangement

Until 1847 the initial entry for an officer and subsequent additions to it were made on the same sheet or sheets of paper so that information on his career up to 1846 is all conveniently located in one volume. For instance information on the career up to 1846 of Mark Cubbon of the Madras Native Infantry [later Lieut Gen Sir Mark Cubbon] is to be found on page 263 of IOR/L/MIL/11/38

Related material

From 1847, additions to records of service were made in separate annual volumes [IOR/L/MIL/11/50-66].
