An Index and Description of Employment Contracts issued to experienced UK Railwaymen who were selected to work for various Indian Railways

PLEASE NOTE: that the original documents referenced are essentially of standard format and only the names and functions of the employees are changed. Accordingly, no extra details will be learned of these employees by viewing the original contracts, apart, possibly, from further precision on the UK address of the employee.

Also where the data are marked "Index Entry Only", the original contract is not available.

NOTE ALSO: These records are taken from IOR Series L/AG/46
