Nizam's Army
== Mharwara Battalion ==
My brief research suggests that Mhairwara is correct. I think move it. I agree we should omit The from titles. I will move them as I go through.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 13:52, 20 May 2009 (PDT)

You are quite right. They shouldn't be under Madras Army. You will see from my notes on the pages of the Hyderabad Contingent Regiments that the Hyderabad Contingent was part of the Nizam's Army though I imagine, due to the location of Hyderabad, contact with HEIC was with the Madras Presidency. It is better as a separate category. I recently found this list of State Forces which I was going to try to reconcile with the regiments we already have documented:
Hyderabad State Forces: His Exalted Highness the Nizam’s Regular Forces: Deccan District -
Hyderabad Headquarters
1st (Nizam’s Own) Hyderabad Imperial Service Lancers: Asufnagar
2nd (Nizam’s Own) Hyderbad Imperial Service Lancers: Golconda. Chawan Muhamundi
3rd Hyderabad (Nizam’s Own) Golconda Lancers: Golconda Fort
Hyderabad Cavalry Training Squadron: Asafnagar
‘A’ Battery, Hyderabad Horse Artillery: Mullapalli
1st Hyderabad Infantry: Goshamahal
2nd Hyderabad Infantry: Chandraingutta
3rd Hyderabad Infantry (Nizam’s Own): Saifabad
Hyderabad Infantry Training Company: Nampally, Saifabad
We may find other Princely State Forces which will require categories.
Anyway I got distracted tracking down the Madras Infantry Regiments. This led me to trying to sort out the Madras Cavalry Regiments which kept changing numbers in accordance with the age of their commanding officers! I am in the middle of recasting them. Generally I am redirecting them to the later incarnations in the Indian Army Cavalry but sometimes the changing numbers will require alternative redirections depending on which year you want to find the regiment. Clear as mud? I have chosen the page entry titles as in 1788 for pre-Mutiny entries in the Madras Cavalry and 1903 for the post Mutiny entries in the Indian Army Cavalry. I hope this works out.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 11:44, 4 June 2009 (PDT)
