Shams,

I googled 6th Bombay Cavalry and came across this site http://www.military-...hp?ProdID=17158

The prints are expensive but the thumbnails may be of some use. Ah! I just rechecked the site and the Open Edition Prints are around £14.

Not sure of the patterns of tunic worn by these regiments, but if the Indian Army Lists are of the same fomat as our Army Lists, then facing colours should be mentioned for each individual regiment.

There was also a small pocket sized book published between the war years which gave a brief history of each Indian Army unit, which included battle honours, coloured and black & white uniform plates and photographs. I actually have a copy of the book at home in the UK, which I believe was called "The Indian Army", but I can't remember who the publisher was.

I think Graham may be refering to The Armies of India 1911 by Major A.C.Lovett & Major G.F. McMunn. I have a copy on CD which I bought from www.youroldbooksandmaps.co.uk and has many colour plates and costs £7.99

Here is an example from the book that I mentioned above. It shows a group of British Indian Army Officers.

I am afraid not Shams as these are subject to copyright. I posted this one because I know the owner of www.youroldbooksandmaps.co.uk and got his permission.

You will have to buy the CD I am afraid.
