Indian uniforms information needed

[Bezzo]

I am looking for a decent affordable guide to British Indian Army uniforms for the period 1880-1914. It was a period which covered several major reorganisations with regimental numbering, title and uniform changes so if I had to select a specific year I would go for 1910.

Osprey has a few titles. And I have seen some tomes beyond my budget. Is there anything else?

I have Mollo's book and would definitely recommend it as well : it's one of the standard works on the Indian army.

Yep! That's the one - very good on later Indian uniforms, although not as good for the Mutiny period which is why I bought it in the first place.

I've also got the John France book amongst others that he wrote for Foundry Books which is excellent for the Indian Mutiny. highly recommended though where one would get a copy for a decent price now is sadly anyone's guess..... I've seen t sell for £120!!!

"The Armies of India" published 1911 and with colour plates. Close enough for you?

Some great stuff in there though

Thanks Darrell - Got that one when it came out! I think 25 pound? Worth every penny too!

Yep, that's what I payed when the book was published a few years ago now. Glad I didn't wait too long!!
