Anyone interested in the armies of British India (and beyond) should have a copy on their shelf. --Chote Sepoy: The Magazine of the Indian Army Group of the British Model Soldier Society The author transmits well the code of honour and loyalty felt by both officers and men to their regiments, their group and caste, and their British seniors. ... an important contribution--Newsletter of the Society of Friends of the National Army Museum ... the book does add to the overall debate and will hopefully stimulate further research into this important area. Durbar, --Journal of Indian Military History ... a well researched and balanced study ... While the work is academic in nature, any reader with an interest in societal change and the profound impact that the transition within the Indian military had on the stability of the independence of India itself, would do very well to read this book. --War History Online

Author Information
Dr Michael Creese is a retired headteacher and educational consultant with a lifelong interest in military history and uniforms. His interest in the Indian Army was sparked by a visit aged eleven to an exhibition of model soldiers at Hamleys in 1947. He now has his own collection of model soldiers which naturally includes a strong Indian contingent. His doctoral thesis at the University of Leicester focussed on the Indian officers in four cavalry regiments, drawing on material in Britain and India. The scope of this thesis has been widened in the present volume to include infantry officers together with a broad history of the Indian Army. He has written a history of the Jodhpur Lancers which is awaiting publication in India.
