It would appear that the 1st Bn ( or some members of it) was posted to India on 22/Feb 1927 until 10 March 1932, thence to China from 12 March 1932 until 27 March 1933.

Service records showed that they were posted to the Indian Army, whilst in China they were posted to the British Army.

My quetion is India was under British Rule until 1947 did it have its own Army? and if so why would a British Regiment come under its control, can anyone assist me?.
