In WWII, Indian Divisions were normally three brigades of Infantry each with one British and two Indian (or Gurkha battalions). Artillery was mostly British, Armour was roughly about 50/50. By late in the war there were a handful of Indian Brigadiers and a fair few Indian Battalion commanders, although far from a majority. Most Indian and Gurkha Companies were commanded by British officers and, even late in the War at least 50% of Indian Army Platoons had a British OC.
