SI it,?I have read with much interest the letters lately published in the Pioneer regarding the Indian Military Service Family Pension Funds, and am prepared to join tlie any movement that has for its object an inquiry into administration of these funds. All Indian Army officers are in the same position as shareholders, but have no voice in the management. An examination of the accounts published in April 1911 shows the receipts to exceed the jlpice Hotes. expenditure by ?773,634 in the years 1903 to 1908, and owing to the increased amount on which interest is allowed, the receipts during the current five years will probably exceed the expenditure by some ?850,000. The expenses of LIST. management are put down for the five years at ?11,107-11-11 THE DURBAR HONOUR in India, and ?6,270 6-3 in England, or some Rs. 2,900 a month in India and ?1,250 a year at home.

  • African Americans in Military Service: Civil War Through World War I
    African Americans in Military Service Civil War Through World War I National cemeteries were created in the 1860s to honor those who serve in America’s armed forces, a mission that continues today. The NCA system and its memorial features have expanded over more than 150 years, and reflect the diversity of demographic groups who answered the call. At many locations segregation in life meant segregation in death; but the Army was insistent that white or black, U.S. veterans deserved burial in a national cemetery. The struggles and injustice endured by African-American service members in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries echoed the social and political climate of civilian life. African Americans served in all U.S. conflicts: but the years between the Civil War and the Korean War -- after desegregation was mandated in 1948 -- were the most contentious. The fight for racial equality is evidenced through the recognition of veteran activists, pilots, heroes, artists, journalists, and sadly, victims. Their inspirational stories helped advance American civil rights, and what follows are some accounts of African-American service from the Civil War through World War I, as reflected in VA national cemeteries. U.S. Colored Troops in the Civil War During the Civil War, 179,000 African Americans are estimated to have served as part of six units of U.S. Colored Troops (USCT), segregated into 175 regiments. These were the first organized units for black soldiers and these men, many formerly enslaved, enthusiastically volunteered to fight for the Union. As soldiers they fulfilled combat and labor functions. By the war’s end, black soldiers represented 10 percent of the Union Army and about 25 percent of the naval force.
