Default Indian Corps 1914 - Request

Would anyone be able to post a selection of cavalry badges as worn by the regiments in the Indian Corps in 1914/15 please?



Apologies in advance that I do not have the literature on this subject, which I’m sure answers my request, whilst I do fancy a copy of Sowars & Sepoys it’s hard to get and since I don’t collect this theme the expense is hard for me to justify.

This might give you an overview: The Regiments in 1914

Thanks, but it is only one page of the site linked to in my signature below. Thus everybody can browse there more then just this one.

Not being Luke, but as you can see I am still missing some badges in that list. Either missing or not of the image quality wanted. Thus if there is nothing against adding them in the list, I am interested in those from that famous publication.

Thank you Henk that’s very helpful. Do you know are those images of officers badges or other ranks? As always great work and website!

Filling those gaps mentioned by Henk would certainly be helpful Sunil, thank you. Do you have any comment on the images of the badges in the link? I’m aware pre-1920s Indian badges are scarce so therefore I would assume reproduced in significant numbers?
