Source: The National Archives, Kew, London, UK. WO95/4813. Salonika Army Troops, Indore Imperial Service Transport Corps dated Dec 1915 to Mar 1919 | | Date transcribed | 2021-10-21 | | Transcribed by | Alan Goodchild | | Comment | The Indore ISTC Unit, in this diary are almost entirely of Indian descent as are the Officers named. Due to the mosquito infested terrain this unit traveled through, cases of Malaria and illness, were rampant in the ranks. Animals were sickened, some had to be euthanized due to colic, disease, or broken or sprained limbs. The unit was reinforced multiple times with both men and animals. The men named here were loyal soldiers to the British cause and so deserve to be added to this database. Apologies if some names are spelled incorrectly, handwriting was not always legible, names were spelled differently from one instance to the next. But the soldiers number was always correctly listed.
This project was started in 2016, put on hold for a number of years, then restarted in 2020 and completed 2023. Some diaries were short in length, around 20 pages - others were 100 to 300 pages long and required our transcribers to read through each page finding names dates and events to extract and transcribe. Almost all of these diaries were hand written (in pencil) and while under pressure. A huge Thanks to the few determined transcribers who undertook and completed this daunting task." |
