Abstract: This talk will cover the main diseases that caused morbidity and mortality in the European and native armies of British India during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (1850 to 1940 to be exact), how the armies differed, how the mortality changed, and why. The reasons behind the falls in mortality and morbidity will be discussed, along with the question as to what difference, if any, sanitary improvements made.
