Not exactly sure if this will help but I found you some British Regiment sites to check out\n\n1) Index of the Regiments and Corps of British Army\n2)Zulu War, 1879\n3)Timeline of the British Army - Wikipedia\n\nHope these help a little bit.

The above answer is great.\n\nI would only add the following.\n\nTry military.com and AKO (Army Knowlage Online)\n\nMost troops are registered on both.\n\nGood Luck

As a former British Army Infantry Captain who has trained alongside the Indian Army I have nothing but respect for them. In a country with such huge disparacies of wealth they are often left with poor equipment and some of their officers from the higher classes I found to be slightly arrogant. But their NCO's and soldiers are some of the most committed and hard working soldiers it has been my honour to command.\nDuring WWII Indian troops proved themselves more than a match in the jungle against the Japanese winning many awards for bravery.\nI would personally rate Indian troops in the top 20 armed forces in the world.

If you are from the UK go to the following web adddress for British Army records/contact  details:- \n\nhttp://www.army.mod.uk/contacts/divisions/records.htm\n\nIf you feel motivated enough to do some research yourself and know (or get to know via the Army contacts above) a reasonable amount about his army service you could go to the Public Record Office, Kew, and search through the appropriate military records.  The PRO staff  are extremely helpful and will guide you.\n\nI researched every detail of my father's RAF service this way. An amazing amount of information is available.  If you want any info on doing the latter, contact me via the YA message facility.

Most military museums hold this type of information.  You could try the following:\nwww.winchestermilitarymuseums.co.uk\nI found them to be very useful when I needed information on the second world war for my son's homework.  If they can't help you they should be able to point you in the right direction.

I found some sites with information about a John Willey. I hope at least one of these is the soldier you are looking for.
