CommentAppendix IV: List of Staff Personnel who served in the India Post Office during the Great War and North-Western Frontier, 1914-1920 - starts pg 335 (357). Includes Rank & File, & Followers. 'Followers' were the non combatant ranks of the Indian Army - cooks, sweepers, grooms, water-carriers and so on.
Note: I believe that in many cases the initial before the name of a native denotes the title eg: B = Baboo, Mg = Maung.
