Thanks to Wills for this, he had trouble pasting link so sent it to me via PM. Hope it is of interest to other members. http://www.scribd.com/doc/36732392/SIKHS-A-Handbook-for-the-Indian-Army-1899
Interestingly, I could not find AE Barstow listed on the CWGC site. He was killed in Jan 42 but there seems to be no record with CWGC. FdeP

Great find guys, thanks for sharing! It seems the book was republished a few years ago if anyone is looking for a physical copy. I wonder if there are ebooks? http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=9889791539 PS: I wasn't able to paste the link in my post either, I had to turn the editor off (the switch icon) to make it work.
