At the outbreak of war the strength of the Army in India was British and Indian. During the war Indians were recruited. The grand total of all ranks sent overseas from India was The casualties sustained by the force were Races which never enlisted before em listed freely, and the Indian Army List when published on the conclusion of Peace will be changed beyond recognition.

Excerpt from The Sepoy

All these sketches, except "The Sikh" and "The Drabi," were written in Mesopotamia. My aim has been, without going too deeply into origins and antecedents, to give as accurate a picture as possible of the different classes of sepoy. In Mesopotamia I met all the sixteen types included in this volume, some for the first time. My acquaintance with them was at first hand. But neither sympathy nor observation can initiate the outsider into the psychology of the Indian soldier; or at least he cannot be certain of his ground. One must be a regimental officer to understand the sepoy, and then as a rule one only knows the particular type one commands.

Therefore, to avoid mistakes and misconceptions, everything that I have set down has been submitted to authority, and embodies the opinion of officers best qualified to judge - that is to say, of officers who have passed the best part of their lives with the men concerned.
