The following pages will be an OOB of the Indian Army when World War 2 began on 3 September 1939. From these units grew the largest volunteer army of World War 2. I'll do a page per command plus a seperate entry for the Princely States Forces. It comes from a page downloaded in 1998, I think a David Ryan posted this plus a number of other pages I cant find anymore.
