For fixing responsibility, you are required to approach the competent authority of the Cantonment Board. For getting birth certificate if particulars are not available on record, there is no other alternative except to take appropriate order of the court. As per prescribed procedure, even after fixing responsibility, they would not be able to issue any certificate on the basis of your zerox copy. Provisions of law and procedure cannot be changed for the convenience of individuals.
Option is yours. For satisfaction of your own need, you will have to compromise with the prevailing situation.

Well analysed, opined and advised by expert Sh. PS Dhingra, I agree.
You are required to decide whether you want to take action against Cantonment Board authorities or obtain duplicate birth certificate, which you have already collected and lost.
It would be appropriate to engage a local lawyer for filing a suit for declaration of your date of birth in the Civil Court of jurisdiction.
