Anyone have an idea what unit was in the Remount Depot Oossoor Bangalore from 1851 to 1862 as my wife has distant relatives who were born there. She was born in Lullaguda. Her father worked on the railways

Contact details for the Logistic Corp Museum. They and their successors, the Royal Army service corps, seem to have been responsible for the running of the Remount.

.The RASC formed the largest serving Corps in the British Army Its immediate predecessor was the Army Service Corps, 1869-1875 and 1888-1918 whose roots lay in the Royal Waggoners, raised in 1794, and it was consequently part of a long tradition of providing supply and transport services to the British Army
