Note: The mutinous sepoys killed British officers and their families during the 1857 uprising. Soon after, India was brought under direct rule by the Crown following the winding up of the East India Company. For civil defense, the crown raised Volunteer Forces composed of Europeans and Parsees in every garrison town in India. In the Volunteers, Native Indians were considered untrustworthy. As a result, volunteer troops were raised in Bombay, Poona, Calcutta, Bangalore, Rangoon, Rawalpindi, and the railways. British Volunteers took Volunteer memorabilia back home with them. As a result, they are hard to find in India.
