- Title:
- Soldiers' Wills
- Scope & Content:
- The first 29 volumes relate to European other ranks of the EIC/Indian Army only and are mostly confined to cases where an ordinary soldier left only his immediate personal effects - many were written at the point of death. Some involve larger estates. Occasionally a soldier's estate is recorded in both this series and in the series 'Treasury Deposits' [see L/AG/34/33 below]. Names and addresses of relatives in the UK are sometimes given. Some Madras wills are to be found in Vol 9 of Bengal. As an appendage to the series there is a volume of Officers' wills (Vol 30) covering all three Presidencies for the years 1831-1875. All 30 volumes in the series contain indexes. The dates which appear in the list are the dates when the wills were written.
