His Indian Princely Medals (Delhi: Lancer, 1996) documented the orders, decorations and medals given by the Maharajas to their State subjects. He co-authored with the late Richard Head The Maharajas Paltans - a History of the Indian State Forces 1888-1948 (Delhi: USII/Manohar, January 2013) which documented the development of the Imperial Service Troops/Indian State Forces.
