Remarkable Series of Secret Gazetteers of the Provinces of China, Confidential Print and Intelligence Reports
Troops and ships from India played a significant part in the two British wars on
China in 1840-42 and 1857-60. In the second half of the 19th century, although 'Imperial policy' towards China rested with London (Foreign Office, War Office and Admiralty), British India came to be recognized as a 'forward player' and substantial authority, given its close involvement over borders stretching from
Sinkiang to Upper Burma.
