→Locating a regiment
There are many ways to find out locations at which a regiment was stationed. More labourious methods include tracking through the muster rolls, army lists or station lists published in newspapers. Many of our regiment articles include a timeline of major stations. Two online sources, providing incomplete but highly useful information, are:
*[http://www.ans.com.au/~rampais/genelogy/india/indexes/index.htm Indian portion of ''In Search of Forlorn Hope'' by John M Kitzmiller] - lists the location/year of all British regiments that served in India and related regions.
*[http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/nafziger.htm The Nafziger Collection of Orders of Battle] hosts a PDF catalogue including lists of “Stations of British Troops in India” (and a wider list for the whole army) transcribed from the ''Army and Navy Gazette Supplement''. Search "stations india YYYY" (where YYYY equals a year). Example document: See the separate list '''[[http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:5-hpf0VC5fQJ:www.cgsc.edu/CARL/nafziger/887EAF.pdf&hl=en&gl=au&sig=AHIEtbTs5ok9Sx0l2DX9McIo5d5qnmNMEA Stations of British Troops in India, 7 May 1887].] 1862-1904'''
