Hi Mark: As a child in the 1920's I heard my teen-age uncles talk about this unit.  I think it functioned as a "Reserve" to be called upon when needed as in war time. They also referred to it as the "Madras Guard".   I never heard anything about it in the 1930's and I believe it must have been abolished sometime in the 1930's. Sincerely, Moira Breen USA ________________________________ From: Mark Steevens <markspark53@gmail.com> To: india@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, October 19, 2010 7:05:28 AM Subject: [INDIA] Anglo Indian Force I have a marriage at Madras in 1919 of Edward William Steevens, presumably the son of my grandfather through his first wife (as yet unidentified.)
