Notes

1. There are some unresolved discrepancies in the above, please treat the TO as notational.
2. We have 59 men unexplained in the Administration Company.  We suspect the HQ may be larger and that this number includes mess personnel.
3. The Indian infantry battalion has only about 20 officers; Junior Commissioned officers and not officers as in most armies, however, command platoons.
4. The total includes approximately 40 Non-Combatants (Enrolled), a category unique to the Indian Army.  This includes cooks, barbers, sweepers, some types of clerk, etc. While this economizes on trained personnel, it hinders operations in last ditch situations, where the NC(E)s have to fight, if only to survive.
