Hello List Ann said: I am looking for information about my grandfather Eric Parker. He joined the Indian Army in 1918 .... I have some information about his time in Tibet but virtually no information about his time in India. I live in Canada so I do not have access to the British Library. The FIBIS Fibiwiki has a page called Indian Army http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Indian_Army Eric Parker's record may be available in the series "Indian Army Records of Service IOR/L/MIL/14/239/1-72481". Ann could contact the British Library, or if she is a FIBIS member, FIBIS can obtain documents and do research for her. (Details of both in the FIBIS Fibiwiki page British Library http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=British_Library) Also mentioned on the Indian Army page are Indian Army Lists which may give an indication of Eric Parker's service. These are available on LDS microfiche to 1940. His time as a tea factory manager may possibly mean he had a mention in one of Thacker's Indian Directories of the late 1920's/1930s. These are available at the British Library and in some National/State/University Libraries. Ann could check the library catalogues for the major libraries accessible to her. Eric Parker's marriage is listed on the LDS beta site https://beta.familysearch.org, so a copy of the record from the LDS microfilm could be obtained if required Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
