Per the below sources, there was no XXV Indian Corps. A XXV Corps was formed on Cyprus, but only as a deception formation. That corps has been recorded on List of British deception formations in World War II. This article was cited to a website that is now dead. I was not able to use the wayback machine to see what the website stated when it was live. Per the sources, it seems that a phantom formation was confused with an actual one.

• Redirect to List of British deception formations in World War II, which has fuller information on the shadow formation than this article, though it calls it XXV Corps! Peterkingiron (talk) 18:31, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of British deception formations in World War II seems like the most appropriate course of action. We might also want to add this to the XXV Corps disambiguation page. Pichpich (talk) 20:22, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as suggested above. Adding a mention to the XXV Corps dab also seems like a solid idea. -Ljleppan (talk) 14:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
