Indian Soldier

The Indian Army under British rule drew on a wide variety of regional, religious, and regimental recruiting traditions. It expanded dramatically during the Second World War and served in North Africa, Italy, the Middle East, and Burma. Indian troops provided a substantial part of the Allied land effort against Japan. Service in Burma required adaptation to monsoon, jungle, and long supply routes, while campaigns in Italy posed different problems. This range of operations is one reason no single pose or headgear can represent the whole army. The wartime army relied on Indian officers, noncommissioned officers, and recruits alongside British personnel. Expansion demanded additional training facilities, equipment, and supporting services.
