[2] The Corps operated as a regular unit of the British Indian Army until 1938; since then it has been maintained as a para-military force.

[4] The Mewar Bhil Corps was established in 1841 under the command of Captain W. Hunter,[5] with its headquarters at Kherwara.

[6] The reasons for raising the Corps were two-fold: (a) to provide employment to members of the Bhil tribe, thus ensuring their "good behavior" and (b) to police the "difficult hill country" of Mewar.

50,000 annually for the upkeep of the Corps but, in 1883, it was arranged that instead of the payment, the British Government should take revenues from the villages in the Mewar portion of Mewara.

Annesley who were the Commandant and second-in-command respectively, arranged for the Mewar Bhil Corps to shut the passes leading out of Kherwara and keep the Bengal Cavalry in check.

[8] On 18 September 1875, 275 men of the Mewar Bhil Corps were dispatched along with the Maharana's troops to Bagore.

[8] The uniform of the Mewar Bhil Corps in 1900 consisted of a dark green tunic and breeches plus khaki puttees.
