→Locating a regiment: fix broken URL
===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. One online source providing incomplete but highly useful information, is:
*[http://wwwisp.ans.com.au/~rampais/genelogy/india/indexes/indexkitz1.htm Indian portion of ''In Search of the 'Forlorn Hope': A Comprehensive Guide to Locating British Regiments and their Records (1640-WWI)'' by John M Kitzmiller] - lists the location/year of all British regiments that served in India and related regions. (Archive.org links [https://web.archive.org/web/20110220120900/http://wwwisp.ans.com.au/~rampais/genelogy/india/indexes/kitz.htm Regiments], [https://web.archive.org/web/20110220120900/http://wwwisp.ans.com.au/~rampais/genelogy/india/indexes/kitz2.htm Locations]) . From Bob Holland’s Rampais website.
*[http://usacac.leavenworth.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/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 sources such as the ''Army and Navy Gazette ''. The website says "Download the collection's [http://cdm16040.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll11/id/1277 Finding Aid] (pdf format) to assist in navigating the titles available for viewing".
