[EAN: 9781847340832], [PU: Naval & Military Press], 2001 reprint. HB 124 pp 2001 N&MP Reprint of Original Edition The Kitchener reforms of 1903 resulted in the Indian Army that went to war in 1914, and this reorganized army is the one covered by the Dress Regulations of 1913, the last to describe full dress (see under ‘Army Regulations India’ in this book list). After the Great War there was another change during 1921-3 in which the 39 cavalry regiments were reduced to 21 and the 130 infantry regiments became battalions of 20 new regiments, and this was the Indian Army that went to war in 1939, less the 20th Burma Rifles which was transferred to Burma Service in 1937. These regulations define the sealed patterns of dress, clothing, equipment and badges; commanding officers were forbidden to introduce or to sanction any deviation. Full dress uniform does not feature, but officers who possessed the pre-1914 pattern were authorised to wear it when not on duty with troops who were no longer issued with it. All the new regiments are covered in this book, Books<
