Part 12
REORGANISATION OF COMMANDS.
25. During the period covered -by this review it became necessary to reorganise the system of Military Commands in India. Three Armies were constituted to deal with the threats of invasion of N.W., N.E. and Southern India, while a Central Command was created in order to relieve the Army Commanders of large areas with internal security problems only, and of a considerable amount of responsibility for administration and training. Lt.-General N. M. S. Irwin took over command of the Eastern Army, Lt.-General Sir Noel Beresford-Peirse that of the Southern Army, and Lt.nGeneral H. B. D. Willcox the Central Command.
