This page was part of the Family History in India website, which was designed to help people trace their European and Anglo-Indian family history in colonial India by Cathy Day. This particular page is a history of the 76th Regiment of Foot and was extracted by Roger Capewell from H.M. 76th Regiment of Foot’s ''Regimental Digest''.

Here it remained until January 1868, when it was ordered to British Burmah. On January 24th headquarters and the right wing embarked on the Alnwick Castle, which was towed across the Bay of Bengal by the Dacca, which carried the left wing. Arrived in Burmah the Regiment was divided into two detachments, the right -wing moved up the Irrawaddy to THAYETMYOO, while the left wing embarked in country boats and moved by the Pegu and Setang rivers to TONGHOO, arriving on the 24th February, 1868.
