THE REGIMENTS & CORPS OF THE
H.E.I.C &
INDIAN ARMIES: VOLUNTEER FORCES
by Chris Kempton
The Indian Volunteer Force, later redesignated the Auxiliary Force
(India) was one of the many anomolies peculiar to the British
Army or the armies of the British Empire. Though entirely
amateur and exhibiting a highly variable level of military
competence, the volunteers took precedence over regiments of the
regular Indian Army. They made a significant contribution to the
armies of both Britain and India throughout both World Wars.
This is the first comprehensive history of the volunteers,
covering the period from 1757 to 1947, including the Mutiny.

Forgotten Battle of the Peninsular War
series. By the winter of 1810-11, the armies of Napoleon had
overrun most of Spain and Joseph Bonaparte sat on the throne in
Madrid. Yet the Spanish Government had found refuge in the
fortress-port of Cadiz. With a British army under Sir Thomas
Graham defending Cadiz, the Spanish cause seemed certain to
prevail. But then the Spaniards wanted to throw Graham’s force
into a reckless battle against the French. The opposing forces
met on the heights of Barrosa in a battle which Sir John
Fortescue described as ‘one of the bloodiest and one of the most
creditable to British troops that is to be found in the history
of the Army.’
