WW2 Wartime Raised Indian Regiments
I would like a list of the units and illustration of the headdress badges worn by the wartime raised regiments and corps of the Indian Army during WW2.
Could the forum recommend a book or website please? Thank you, Keith

For a quicky you could take a look at https://hcvv.home.xs4all.nl/milweb/B...dia/index.html
Both at the Infantry and the Cavalry branches: The Second World War and Independence The Cavalry list is most explicit. In the Infantry, most of the expansion was by creating more battalions in the existing regiments. They wore their regimental badges.

I forgot the Chamar Reg't, raised in '43 and disbanded in '45 and the Ajmer Regiment. Here are the badges I have illustrations of, all from pages from books, so please excuse the quality.
