EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE

INDEX

The Index is laid out in two sections as

follows:

SECTION I – Subject Index

Subjects have been classified

under thirteen main headings, viz:

Animals; Badges; Battles and Campaigns;

Biographical; Book Reviews; Buttons;

Colours, Standards and Guidons;

Formation Signs; Medals and Decorations;

Museums; Shoulder Titles; Uniforms;

Weapons. Those remaining unclassified

have been inserted in a general section

entitled Miscellaneous, with a brief

reference to the subject matter of the

article where necessary.

SECTION II – Regimental/Unit Index.

This section has been arranged

as follows: British Army; Indian Army –

which is further sub-divided into Cavalry;

Artillery Engineers, Sappers & Miners,

Signals, Pioneers; Infantry; Gurkhas, A &

Q Services; Frontier Units; Auxiliary

Force (India); Imperial Service

Troops/Indian State Forces; Indian Navy;

Indian Air Force; Police; Overseas,

including Brunei, Burma, Ceylon/Sri

Lanka, Gulf States, Hong Kong, Malaya,

Nepal, Singapore, South Africa and

Miscellaneous. Indian units have been

placed in order of precedence according to

the 1947 list, with previous units in their

lineage listed under these, e.g. a regimental

medal to 12th Madras Infantry is listed

under 2nd Punjab Regiment – 12th Madras

Infantry became 72nd Punjabis in 1903

which in turn became 3rd Bn., 2nd Punjab

Regiment in 1922. Regiments disbanded

before 1947 are inserted under a separate

heading, as are new post-Independence

raised units.

There have been a number of

changes in format since IMHS was

formed. Initially known as the Indian

Military Collectors Society (IMCS), a

duplicated A4 size Newsletter, later and

briefly called DURBAR, was issued. It is

shown in the Index as NL. In the first two

years it was supplemented by an annual

Journal in the now familiar A5 format

(shown in the Index as J1984 or J1985).

Subsequent editions of the Newsletter

appeared in the A5 format though initially

and somewhat confusingly called Journal,

as with the previous annual documents.

The name DURBAR was re-introduced

with effect from Vol. 5, No 2. The name

changes to the A5 format have been

disregarded for the purposes of this index

and all entries other than the NL and

J1984/5 referred to above are indicated by

reference to the Volume, Number and

page, e.g. 6/2/8 is Volume 6, No 2, page 8.

Follow-up articles or correspondence

appear immediately after the main entry,

often with just the volume/page number

reference. An asterisk * denotes an

illustration.

It should be noted that in the

early years the Society did not necessarily

issue four journals a year; thus Volume 2

consisted of issues 1, 2 and 4 (3 was not

issued). In Volume 3, No 3 some pages

are marked as Vol. 3, No 2. Both

Volumes 4 and 5 consisted of issues 1, 2

and 3 (4 was not issued in either year).

From then onwards we achieved four

issues a year for each Volume. Dates were

introduced to the front cover with effect

from Vol. 6, No 4 (Winter 1989) but have

been excluded from this Index.

The former India Office Library

was merged with the British Library and

was originally known as the Oriental and

India Office Collection. Although now

falling within the Asia Pacific Collection

documents relevant to the Indian Army are

now accessed through the India Office

Library and Records (IOLR) heading.

Early references in the journal referred to

India Office Library. For the sake of

uniformity all such references are now

shown as BL-IOLR.

Key to Index References:

J/1984 (5)/2 - Journal/1984 or 1985/Page 2

10/2/3 - Durbar/Vol.10/No.2/Page 3

For those accessing the on-line version of

Durbar the page numbers can be ignored.

Stripping out earlier society news and

administrative items has altered the page

numbers but the hyper-links should take

you to the relevant article.
