Regimental histories

• Durham Light Infantry 2nd Battalion ... : a record of the services of the Battalion, to which is added a series of reproductions of photographs, including every man in the corps, and other views, specially taken at Poona, India, February 1897. “Made by the Historical Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.A.” Available at the British Library

Regimental journals

• The Bugle. A Chronicle of Regimental News. The British Library holds "vol. 1. no. 2.-vol. 13. no. 330. May 1894-Sept. 1902. Imperfect; wanting vol. 1. no. 3 and vol. 9. no. 232-vol. 12. no. 312" It appears likely there were no volumes after this date, for this period. The Bugle recommenced again in the 1920s, but the British Library does not appear to have copies.
• The Regimental Journal of the Durham Light Infantry. (Incorporating “The Bugle.”) was published from 1934 and is available at the British Library
