Law's Tables
For the period 1716 to 1877 Battery Records of the Royal Artillery compiled by MES Laws (two volumes) is a comprehensive guide to battery stations that also helps navigate the frequent renumberings that took place. It is available to consult at the British Library, the RA's Firepower museum and on the open access library shelves at The National Archives. A third volume covering the period following 1877 is unpublished, but held by Firepower.
The Nafziger Collection of Orders of Battle
The following table links to pdf documents from The Nafziger Collection of Orders of Battle derived from sources such as The Army and Navy Gazette and containing information relating to the Royal Artillery in India. Some documents provide limited information.
