About this Product
The Indian Army underwent significant changes in command, organization and composition from the time of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-59, to the outbreak of World War I. Prior to the Mutiny, the government of British India was exercised by the East India Company, who divided the country into three Presidencies, each with its own army under its own commander-in-chief. When Lord Kitchener was appointed Commander-in-Chief India in 1902, he undertook a major reorganization of the entire army. This book examines the infantry regiments of the Indian Army, at a time when it saw extensive action in campaigns throughout China, Egypt, the Sudan, Burma and Tibet.

He has since published numerous books on the history and costume of the British Army, including nine titles in the Men-at-Arms series. He lives in the Channel Islands. Jeffrey Burn is a distinguished artist who has worked on several Osprey Military publications over the years, including Men-at-Arms 230: The US Army 1890-1920 and Men-at-Arms 34: The Waffen-SS.
