WW1
The Volunteers 1917
This list from the Burma Gazette consists of men from all arms and from all areas.
All of the men were members of the Volunteer Forces, as opposed to men who volunteered to enlist.
Work is in progress extracting Burma-related names from the Rolls of the Anglo-Indian Force.
Once complete, it will provide material for an interesting comparison study of the two groups.
