1930rif. 236621930. British Indian railway and military administrative staff photo archive circa 1930s to 1943 documenting the trained Indian clerical instructional stores and supervisory personnel who operated institutions central to colonial transportation and wartime logistics.

The portraits record this institutional hierarchy with European officers occupying senior positions while Indian instructors accountants clerks store employees and subordinate officials form the numerical body of each organization.
